Does anyone else pronounce "Soldering" as "Saudering"?

How about "before a live audience"... instead of filmed (or whatever) in front of a live audience?
Or, was it filmed before the audience was alive? They were dead then?

Have you ever said "it happened before my eyes"?

"In front of" is a normal meaning of "before". :)

At this rate we're going to have the "near miss" argument shortly.

Not entirely true that. Buckingham is pronounced "Bucking'm" and Southampton is pronounced "Southamt'n".

That is "how it is written" to me, & when the SOTON locals used the name, it seemed normal to me.
I never realised that we in OZ (particularly WA) do clip the "p" a bit in such names, although not quite to the extent some Brits do.

Then there are the type of Brits who call horses "horse is".

How about “nucleus” vs “nookulus” ?

Yes I've heard it. Only in the US though. <<It happened right in front of my eyes>> is a more common expression here.

English is very much a living language by its very nature.
