I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

Solder. I taught myself, never really talked to anyone about it, and for like a decade, I pronounced it like it’s spelled. With an L.
I just can’t break the habit
If it makes you feel any better, that’s the correct pronunciation in England.
Thats the correct pronunciation outside of the USA.
My aunt does the same with ‘salmon’.
Tbf my brother has a grade school teacher growing up with that as a last name and it was pronounced “SAUL-mon”. Seems confusing for children learning to read or ESL lol.
