I've always said it salm, with a silent P, but I hear a lot of people say palm.

Is there a reason for this? Is palm an acceptable pronunciation or do these people just not know better?

I have never heard palm and afaik it's not an acceptable variation.

I thought it might be one of those things where two different pronunciations are acceptable, like saying "palm" was more true to the Greek origin of the word!
