what is the content of UK porridge? err oats and milk/water sometimes a combination of the two...some people put fruits and/or nuts on top once made. It is always hot. We have cereals (cold) with milk (or yoghurt (yeuch)) on and those have various brandnames, Cornflakes, Special K, Coco pops, Rice Krispies, Sugar Puffs etc etc. I remember, when learning German, how horrified I was to learn that they had one word for breakfast cereal - Cornflakes - that was it...it did lead to an interesting discussion about how, if you visit someone else, they know which "Cornflakes" you wanted... Are you non-rhotic? What do you mean by that R in there? It was my feeble attempt at spelling my sounding out... the or sound is kind of a more o like sounding of aw (as in awk) and the (l) was me trying to put the subtle l that happens (rather than a harsh l sound) We have all those cereals as well. I think cornflakes was the first produced by Kelloggs, but I stand to be corrected on that as well. Sugar Crisp, Cocoa Puffs,etc. all cereals made from various grains or combinations thereof. Oatmeal must be the same a porridge. Here where I live it has water or milk, cooked on stove or nuke-able in Microwave for a minute or two. Mixed with various fruits as well. I put in raisins, almonds; or mix with brown sugar and cinnamon and dash of maple extract; or cranberries in their raisin state, or cherries, etc.

My last breakfast (at this hour, it was yesterday) I had oatmeal with molasses. Or was it porridge with treacle? Alas, no almonds.

So, how do *you* say “almond”?
/'ɑmənd/
For the record, I do not pronounce the l in talk, walk, or psalm, but do in calm and palm.

I don't pronounce the l in any of those! How can you pronounce the l in calm and palm?!?
And was it actually treacle or was it golden syrup?

How can you pronounce the l in calm and palm?!?You mean physically or morally? It's a dark l (aka velarized alveolar lateral approximant, link) for sure. And you all are aware that not everybody in the world pronounces English the same, right? For more information see the delightful IPA chart for the various, major regional forms of English and how they differ in pronunciation ( link). Oh, and I do not pronounce the t in often either.

I think he means morally. I thought so too, "How *could* he?"
