how do you pronounce "folk"

[Mando Pandango]

I only recently started noticing when people pronounce the L

[C.Mongler]

probably closer to foke than fullk but i do feel like there's a hint of an L in there when I say it lol

yeah this exactly. there's like this half-movement of the tongue that sounds *kind of* like an "l" in the way i say it. i feel like this is common? but i'm not entirely sure

[YPrrrr]

Foke no Ls here. Nor in yolk

Abeebadee that's all fokes

[Mando Pandango]

i may have to reset the poll because it sounds like you guys are pronouncing the L and lying to yourselves about it

If you pronounce this word like Mr. Fantano as he discusses AJJ's "Knife Man" please choose the first option

[YPrrrr]

See I feel like people are overthinking it and thinking they're lightly throwing an l in there when they're not

@ the posts not the votes

[YPrrrr]

Do people also pronounce the L in talk

The tallking heads

If you say it like P. Pig here, please choose the second option

i do not

maybe it's because I grew up around Albany that i just leave the L out of all these words

[YPrrrr]

I will say I sometimes add an L sound to caulk to avoid weird looks

i may have to reset the poll because it sounds like you guys are pronouncing the L and lying to yourselves about it

but i'm definitely starting with a hard F-O sound, not F-U

i swear bc im a 1st gen child to the US (both parents foreign) i dont say SHIT correctly sometimes
now i get why i was in ESL in ele

i pronounce the L
i take the L with pride
PRIDE

funny bc i say talk like tauk

it might be hard to discern from me in person or just no one gives a shit if i do mispronounce it obviously? idk

also, i realized saying folks is more of an american thing
and folk is more of an english thing

also here are a list of words and phrases i apparently *still* have issues with according to ***true*** american folks

sliver (woman corrected me in a store, mfw been saying silver. thank god ive only said it like 5x in my life)
maryland
calk (heheheheheheh)
khaki
elote (ehhh mexican word but w/e, i blame being 1st gen bc nobody bothered correcting me going to these elote carts as a kid when i lived in chicago)
southern
fridgerator
"close the light"
"off the spar" (thanks ypr LMAO)

i know there are more...these are off the top of my head

ppl say ill have a foreign accent, some people say i speak like im really educated with no accent????
idk WHO to believe i just wanna live paying attn to none of my speaking mannerisms
