As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked
I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.

At the same time, it's not pronounced as "samon"
It's either "saemon" or "semen" lol

Let me give it a try "flip flop plop plop". Still working on my salmonese.
Image Transcription: Twitter Post

I Like Going To Walmart For Fun
You might as well go ahead and pronounce the "L" in "salmon." Nothing matters anymore.
I'm confused on where the walmart line is coming from, am I missing something?
Just spit balling, but maybe the program that does the transcription doesn't just use the image, but instead scans the image, finds the Twitter account shown, and checks the tweet text in the image against the matching actual tweet.
And since it's accessing the actual tweet, maybe that Walmart text is like a profile tag line or something that's attached to the user?

Yes! Pronounce your letters, don't be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I'll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)

🔫 always has been 🔫
Oh fine, let's just start pronouncing "recognize" as though there were actually a "G" in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!

Midwestern gang out here saying the l in palm
... Are you not supposed to?
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?
