Brazing / Silver Solder how to find someone with the skills

[Morris]

Middle English pinched it from Norman French "souder", which nicked it from the latin "solidare" (to make as one).

Modern French remains "souder".

I find it interesting that people are quick to jump on the American's for ruining the English language when often they have retained older English spellings and phraseology and it's us that have changed them particularly past participles eg gotten (from Norse).

I blame them Normans...we got dragged into Europe a lot earlier than we care to think.

I've never seen that word written on any solder reel label, so it's not just us.

The Ghurkas called, they would like a word.

Americans saying "Buoy" always makes me smile.

However, would you say solder or sodder? Mind, knowing you, you'd say it in a way none of us could understand.

Maybe add it to the videos? then we can all learn from it

Like a plague of rats, and their endless inter-necine wars after they got here.

I saw somewhere..
The English language is just .. ''Vikings learning Latin then using it to shout at Germans''
