Mastodon friends (US ones probably!).
Doing a but of sleuthing with some limited evidence and hitting a wall.
So some of you say certain words containing a long O after a short sound, like both, moment etc. but add in an L, sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.
So bolth, molment, and so on.
Is this regional? Generational? Education? The US doesn’t have a class system like large parts of Europe or Asia do, so I can’t speak for that.

Are they putting the L back in folk?Polish has L with stroke (Ł) which is pretty much pronounced as L in folk. Seems English is not the only language to slide a bit back and forth across that sound change.
