When i first started graal long time ago i pronounced it Gr-all. But now after thinking about the old old quests on the original classic with the Grails then i started to think it was probably pronounced Gr-ail, because that would make more sense than "Gr-all"

Grahl if you want to try to spell it phonetically.

At least, that's what I used to think.

I thought Graal was merely the way you spell Grail in another language, but it keeps the original pronounciation because the 'aa' makes the same sound as 'ai' in the particular language. Grail/Graal are the same thing, so I pronounce it the same as I pronounce Grail.

We already had that a zillion times already, I think. Atleast 10 times, maybe once or twice a year or so.

"Graal" in german pronunciation.

I say it more like "grel" but I think that's just because of my accent. I MEAN to say it like grail though.

again same difference.. of course I only say that because I call it "Gr-ail" I know Stefan calls it "Gr-all" but I was calling it "Gr-ail" for more than 2 years when I found out. So I will continue. I figured it was called "Gr-ail" after Zelda ...

The french to english switciroo for Graal changed it.

Its supposed to be "giveme44usdforourgame" but instead, it got translated into Gr-all.
