Is the " L " silent in word calm and palm and balm in American accent??
Because I am pretty sure it is so in British accent.

I'm in the US, and like Chris, I've heard the words pronounced both with and without the L sound. I pronounce the L.

Longman Dictionary and Oxford New American Dictionary give two standard pronunciations with the omitted L being most common and the pronounced L being less common but also standard.
I have heard them both ways in the US and Canada.
