  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. 😂🙃

        In my accent they’re similar but not the same.

      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

    Seeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!

  It is, but not the way you think - you* don’t pronounce the L in either. Calm, palm, balm, farm, harm all rhyme.

  *obviously you do, I speak nothing but the Queen’s!
