Almonds

Ahmonds for me.

And while we’re at it, when did ‘Nestle’s’ chocolate become ‘Ness-lay’?

When I was growing up, it was always ‘Nessuls’.

And jolly good it was too!

aa muhndz in phonetics. The L is not pronounced. Sx

Always armunds oop north!

Always been almonds.

Those tiny municipal houses meant for retired folk...we're they pronounced ALMS Houses or ARMS houses? Same applies to pronouncing these nuts..its ARMonds.
This puzzle puts me in mind of the current use of HAITCH rather than AITCH. Or HISTORIC rather than the correct ISTORIC.

Or my mother (in Mrs Bucket mode) an 'otel! Correct but irritating.

I was brought up by a Brummie Mum. It's always been armonds for me. Now living in East Anglia and I've heard both!

It’s always been Almonds, haven’t heard of “armonds” ?? until today!!

Same here, a first for me. Always almonds. I'm S.E.Wales.

Me too, a Boro girl! Husband, brought up abroad, and then the Midland’s, armonds.

Most round here in the south of Australia don’t pronounce the ‘l’. From many different backgrounds.

I remember my mum discussing the pronunciation of almonds some 70 years ago! She said ahmunnds, as do I, but having moved area, she was hearing it pronounced differently. There will always be regional differences. English is a most inconsistent language.

No matter how many times people say it, I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone pronounces it 'armonds' when there is no 'r' in the word! The L is silent, but I can just about understand someone saying 'al-monds'!

That was me not explaining it properly in the op, MissA.

I say ahmonds not almonds. I indicated that by typing armonds!

Silent l, always. Kent.

I say Olmonds!
