Talk:solder
in 55 years, I have never heard the word "solder" being used as "joint" -- not in plumbing, electronic circuits, building wiring. Cem BSEE 13:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Three American pronunciations? We get it, they say 'sodder' in the US. Seems like a waste of space to have it three times. 90.194.162.102 00:23, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

etymology
The etymology is contradicted by what all major dictionaries and http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=solder say. On the other hand, the forms offered in those sources are not even mentioned in http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/m/mec/med-idx?type=boolean&q1=solder&rgn1=Anywhere&operator1=And&q2=&rgn2=Anywhere&operator2=And&q3=&rgn3=Anywhere&size=First+100 --Espoo (talk) 09:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

What does “CA” mean?
In the UK pronunciation section, there is an audio clip of someone pronouncing it like the English do, but it is labeled as “CA”. Convention dictates that CA is for Canada, but that is most certainly not how Canadians pronounce it. Canadians pronounce it the same as Americans, and in fact, the American section just below it even includes Canada. If the CA is supposed to represent another country, then it should be clarified to avoid confusion with Canada. If it is indeed supposed to be Canada, then it should be replaced with a clip of an actual Canadian pronouncing it.

- The person who recorded that is a native speaker of Canadian English, from British Columbia. Perhaps you should not assume that all Canadians speak just as you do? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:48, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
