Inclusion of a pronunciation section
I am somewhat bemused that there is not currently a section on pronunciation in this article like the one in the Wiktionary article for caramel or the Wikipedia article for scone. Caramel seems to be the American equivalent to "scone" in British English in which there are two common pronunciations with the more common one varying by region. This could also be an example of elision in American English (as far as I understand, elision is more common in British English than American English (General American anyway)) although it has been suggested in the archives that the two syllable pronunciation originates from confusion with the Carmel mountains or places called Mount Carmel in North America. This issue came to my attention after hearing the two syllable pronunciation on You Tube videos by American presenters including one who got confused with the three syllable pronunciation which is more common outside the US.
