the way the USA has corrupted English
#1
The age of video sharing only highlights the way the USA has corrupted the English language, one of my pet hates is how 'solder' is officially pronounced in the USA as 'sodder' but they still say 'welder' as welder and not 'wedder' as I would have expected.  

There must be a 100 of these quirks but every time I hear a USA Ham say 'sodder' I cringe and they go down one step in my estimation of intelligence.

I do not want to steal other peoples thunder by do you have others to add to this list?
