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

Eh.... you say tomato, I say tomato.
Wait. ???
With people spread out far across the world, you really can't indicate pronunciation like that. In my accent, I used to say "sod-er", but after hearing Dave in particular say the word so many times, I drifted toward "saw-der", which feels similar to my mouth without raising the eyebrows of my fellow Americans ;D
Only one problem - when you guys read "sod-er" and "saw-der" above, you're still not hearing them in your heads the way I do, because you pronounce "saw", and "er", and even "sod" slightly differently. So what's the point?
I used to say /?s?d?/, and now I say /?s?d?/. And since I'm sure the forum software made a mess of those... and .

I think its just the North Americans that pronounce it differently (sodder). It seems to be 'solder' everywhere else in the world.

A clarification here: so you mean "saudering" as in "sohdering", or "saudering" as in "soddering"?
Because I don't think I have ever heard "sohdering".

Yep, sod has always sounded odd to me to. Am still not used to it.
