I've never heard anyone say "the soddering iron" in over 45 years of
soldering in the US. BTW, I started at eight years old.

In 20 years, I never heard any American colleague NOT say 'sodder' and
'soddering'! It's something which you just can't help noticing on each
occasion you hear it.

Yep.

I've been to the UK and never heard the word solder pronounced. :)
I must have been hanging about with the wrong people.
Why are they "on" the UK and not "in" the UK? I suppose it's an
exclusive club, being in the UK and one must know the secret handshake
and password before one is accepted for membership. Until one is
accepted, one is merely on the UK as it were, riding a boat.
In N.A.: solder, rhymes with odder.
In U.K.: solder, rhymes with alder or maybe more like older.
In North America we pronounce it sodder but we only do it to annoy the
imperials. :)

True, the correct pronunciation is 'sodderin' iron... ;-)

"arn" is the correct pronunciation ;-)
I did that wrong-end stunt exactly once... taught me to always look up
(from my OptiVisors) rather than just reaching blindly :-(
Amazing how fast one can react from the "ssssst" heard before the pain

Think what you want.... the publisher has just knocked out an
additional 1 Million copies.
From what I hear the publisher had already reached profitability in
the first release... sold out before availability ;-)

How about, "Jim shows us the tricks to making a 35mW, 3.3V, 1GHz GBW op-amp
using commodity transistors like the BFS17. Then he changes over to TSMC BJTs
to obtain 3GHz out of the same design..."

Think of it as just another tax break for the wealthy. :-)
True story: When the 9/11 Commission Report was published, our local
bookstore had some of the overstock (high on the shelves) positioned
right above the "fiction" sign. It's the bookstore right across from
the university, so I never knew if it was a prank, or if the employees
(mostly students) just didn't pay any attention...

No, it's bullshit. No #1 seller was ever classified.

I'd suggest you would find it very rare for an American not to pronounce it
sodder.

Thompson, you're fugly. If you are under 70, life has beat you up pretty
hard. Try to stay out of the sun.
Babe? Smart? Well I'd have to say that Palin is very similar to Carrie
Prejean in both beauty and intelligence. If Glennbeck isn't available
for a partner in 2012, I suggest Sarah should look into teaming up with
Prejean. Two good looking, "smart" women should be better than one.
If you are dense enough to think this is a "book" worth reading, then
perhaps you should also look for the Prejean videos. The intellectual
and entertainment levels should be about the same. Perhaps a little
higher for the videos.
