    I don’t solder, so I’m no expert, but I’ve only ever heard it pronounced “sodder” (though agreed, leaving out the “l” sound is an odd choice).

        It was friends and YouTube content creators from the UK that made me realize that dropping the L isn’t done everywhere else. I grew up thinking that it was just one of those English words that break all the pronunciation rules.
