Comment on What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!
… Are you not supposed to?
According to my English teacher who grew up in California no.
Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm
That’s not really how things work. How did she think they were “supposed” to be pronounced?
Like you’d pronounce pom poms
But pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. 😂🙃
I pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say
This was mega confusing at first bc I just realized I do not pronounce the L in palm or calm. So they do rhyme… but it’s like pom/com
