    Now, what about “almond”. I wouldn’t pronounce the L in that, but I know some people do, and I’ve been to some places where they misheard me because I didn’t

      I pronounce it with the L, but TIL i wasn’t supposed to like how H is supposed to be silent in herb. Still, i don’t think people understand what i’m saying if i pronounce without the L, like salmon and herb. Really just how english being localised.

        AWWMUND and ERB are very American. In England I’d pronounce them both with the L and H.
