Just know that you're now standing with science, the chemists that rule on such things (worldwide) and, in fact, the guy that first isolated the metal.

I've always wondered why Colonel is pronounced as though it was a piece of corn.

Here's one explanation:
"The word "colonel" originates from the Italian word "colonnello," which means "column of soldiers," and was first used in English in the 16th century to refer to a military rank. The French translation of the term, "coronel," became the source of the modern pronunciation, which is why it is pronounced as "kernel" in English. By around the 17th century, the word began appearing in military treaties across Europe. So, the written form of the word (colonel) and the spoken ("kernel") were both being used. In English, a combination won out."

I've just thought of something. We say sked-due-ling but also say shed-dual. Kind of odd when you think about it.

Aww sumabith, I'll have to check my lawerer's shedual.
(can you mix them in a single sentence? :D )

I don't remember ever hearing 'solder' and I've been in CA quite a few times.
It does make sense with the spelling.
