It's funny to my American ears when I hear the English dropping 'r's from words but then adding them where they don't belong. What's up with adding 'r's at the end of words ending in vowels if the next word begins with a vowel?

I've seen a couple pedal names that tried to capitalize on this, but I don't think they got it right. I remember reading that the Supa Trem was supposed to be a joke and that it would be pronounced Super Trem by the British. I think Mike Fuller didn't get the memo that 't' is a consonant.

I'm going to invent a desoldering pump and call it the "Sollda Extracta".

For the first half of our time in England Princess Dianer was still alive.

One of the classics to me, and is still stuck in my head is "bottle of water" being "bah-o of woe-ah".  I really miss England at times.

Great place.

Herbs when you pronounce the "H" which isn't pronounced WITH the "H"

Growing up we used to call people "herbs" pronouncing the h. Meaning uncool or being a dick.
Now we smoke herbs and it's all good. 😄😜✌️lol

Well, at least the change fits in nicely well with my self-chat whilst soddering:

- sodding soddering iron!
- sodding sodder!
- sodding board!
... you get the idea.

Time for a non native speaker to chime in. I believe that my english is very good, credit goes to all the TV shows I'm watching, to all the science related literature being published in english and of course my semester in Calgary also helped.
However, I found it quite irritating to hear soddering the first time. Honestly, it still is. In my opinion soldering makes more sense. But hey, what do I know. My friends from Vienna can't understand me when I'm talking on the phone to people from my hometown, so I guess you could just pass of 'soddering' as a form of dialect/accent/slang. As long as you know what the other person is talking about.

As an english only speaker I've no recollection of ever hearing it pronounce any other way then sodder/sawder. You've got me curious now, do you rhyme it with colder/folder etc, how does it roll?

Happens in Long Island, too. Or, as I call it, Lon Guyland, which is how a lot of the natives say it. 

I used to work with a LI native that constantly talked about wanting a "vodker tonic" to drink and some "pizzer" to eat.

Every time I try to hear the L in my mind, I get this guy's voice:

It's funny, I was reading this and chuckling then I thought "Hey wait! That's the way I say it. Sodder". To pronounce the L seems really strange.

Huh, there's a New Zealand band called Herbs. Pacifica reggae, VERY popular band over here. Everyone in Aotearoa has heard their song with Dave Dobbyn, Slice of Heaven.
