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

I, too, am from NJ( close to NYC).  I pronounce it sod-er and wauda :-DD.  I do say solder in my head, just not when I speak.  I bet if I keep listening to Dave, I will start pronouncing it solder and everyone I know will look at me strangely.  Oh wait, they already do. :-+

That's alright, most Americans' grasp of the english language is close to zero  |O |O.  I have been out of NJ( close to NYC) for 25 years living in Florida and there is still no mistaking where I come from the moment I open my mouth.  I have always thought the english language is a bit of a bastard language as even the word phonetic is not pronounced phonetically!! :-//  Of course, being from NJ( close to NYC), I bastard it up even more. :-+

Pho - Net - Ick
Pho as in phone, Net as in internet, Ick as in Tick (tock goes the clock) ??

I pronounce soldering as
Sole-der-ring
Sole as in a shoes sole, Der like aussies say the end of water, and ring with a near silent r

Everytime I hear Dave or anyone else across the pond actually say and emphasize the letter 'H' it always reminds me of this clip from family guy (actual part starts @ 0:52):

The fact that they use the same character for both probably has something to do with it...
