Tbh, I say the word sometimes with 2 syllables and sometimes with 3, but I NEVER use CARE-a-muhl. It's either CAR-a-muhl or CAR-muhl. I think it's different for me whether I'm talking about a sundae, or the candy. I think the candy gets 3 syllables because it's all by itself and it needs company. Since the sundae has ice cream, it doesn't need the emotional support of having another syllable.

This makes me think of another instance of "sweet things". You are all gonna think my wife is a nag, but she's really not. This is all in good fun.

But -- we were at one of those big theme type restaurants where you get desert included. Choice of Strawberry Sundae, or Hot-Fudge Sundae. So the waitress comes over and asks me what I want.

I say "Chocolate".

My wife freaks - like "It's not Chocolate, it's HOT FUDGE!!!". Ok, but I'm sure the waitress knew that's what I meant. Not like she was confused back in the kitchen thinking --- "hmmm, he said 'chocolate', I'm sure he meant Strawberry".

Your wife would absolutely lose her mind around me.

My wife laughs at me because my mind runs much faster than my mouth.

I often call a ladder "stairs" (we have a rather large L-shaped staircase with a landing 2/3 of the way up) .
--- I'll go get the stairs and hang that picture for you.

I've referred to a mirror as a "window" or "winder".

I also have called the "blinds" inside the window "shutters".

haha Jason I remember from TS you have that "southern" accent or at least compared to my new york accent. Then when I was at a casino near my college my friend and I were sitting at a poker table and there was this guy that reminded me 110% of you because the voice sounded PERFECTLY alike.
