Gentle persons: This is an argument patterned after an old joke about mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
Theorem: All words of the form "<consonant>-o-l-d-e-r" are pronounced as "older" preceded by the appropriate consonant. Proof: bolder = <b>older - yes colder = <c>older - yes folder = <f>older - yes holder = <h>older - yes solder = <s>older - no Hmmm. that last must be an experimental error. QED. Regards, Kent PS - my 1971 compact edition of the Oxford English Dictionary traces the word "solder" back to the early 1400s. Even then the spelling---"soudryd" is their first example---and likely the pronunciation was ambiguous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
