With the 'L' - I always get the urge to Goosestep if I don't pronounce it.

If you pronounce the L it's Vollockswagon

Nobody pronounces the L and people who do are wrong and might as well just say environoment too

Why on earth would it be vollockswagon

You don't pronounce it as its own seperate individual sound, that's not how words work, you pronounce the L in conjunction with the O and K
