According to my English teacher who grew up in California no.

Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm

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?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Like you'd pronounce pom poms

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ƒ

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

In my accent they're similar but not the same.

[-] Uncle_Bagel@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This 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

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Seeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

It is, but not the way you think - you* don't pronounce the L in either. Calm, palm, balm, farm, harm all rhyme.

*obviously you do, I speak nothing but the Queen's!
