minus-square@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•1 year agoAccording to my English teacher who grew up in California no. Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm
minus-square@can@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•1 year ago Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm That’s not really how things work. How did she think they were “supposed” to be pronounced?
minus-square@Uncle_Bagel@midwest.sociallinkfedilink1•1 year agoI pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say
minus-square@SendMePhotos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoBut pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. 😂🙃
minus-square@can@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•1 year agoIn my accent they’re similar but not the same.
minus-squarekaselinkfedilink2•1 year agoThis was mega confusing at first bc I just realized I do not pronounce the L in palm or calm. So they do rhyme… but it’s like pom/com
minus-square@smeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoSeeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!

… Are you not supposed to?
