    I think Throbert covered this one pretty thoroughly. It is a matter of regional dialect.

    I do not pronounce the "h" in "whale". I pronounce "wail" and "whale" exactly the same. However, I do pronounce the "l" in golf. But I do not pronounce the "l" in walk.
    Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…
