It's a lifeline, not a comprehensive solution to the crisis, but if you're a UK-based PhD (or equivalent) in a SHAPE subject within 10 years of your viva, do join the British Academy's ECRN. It's free, has resources & you don't need to be employed in research or academia to be a member. 3/3

I'm sure someone must have looked into this! I've become an armchair phonetician after watching Geoff Lindsey's videos. I really recommend a website called Youglish, where you can compare pronunciations across YouTube videos to get clues on contextual patterns (place, age, etc)

I think that's a mispronunciation (but clearly now on the rise in the US, so perhaps in line for dictionary legitimacy). I wonder if it's case of the written word impacting speech, like with tortoise and mischief, or a remnant of an earlier pronunciation (in German, Volk is pronounced with the L)
