Talk:Soldered Sensei
Pronunciation
Should we include somewhere on the article about how to pronounce "Soldered"? I keep hearing people say it literally how it's spelled (or sometimes "Soldiered") SalaComMander (talk 17:25, 4 July 2013 (PDT)

- And here we reach a bit of a problem - in British English the L is pronounced, whereas in American English it isn't. Hum. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 12:18, 6 July 2013 (PDT)
- Well, since VALVe is an American company, I think it's safe to assume that it's pronounced without the "L" SalaComMander (talk) 12:39, 6 July 2013 (PDT)
- But the makers were NeoDement (British) and Hideous (Swedish), making it most likely that it was originally pronounced the British English way. That doesn't make it the right way though - American or British English, there's no right or wrong. Don't get me started on how words should be pronounced, or I'll have to teach everyone how Loch-n-Load isn't pronounced Lock-n-Load :P » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 10:09, 14 July 2013 (PDT)
