POLL: How do you pronounce "Graal"?

[RagedWebJAL]

After many years of playing this game, the question still lurks in my mind. From the early days when there was only one known server to play on, and the largest quest was to seek out the four Holy Grails (pimp-cup-looking things). And it would have only made sense to pronounce "Graal" as "Grail". But of course, after the first few months, my tongue became rather lazy, and I began pronouncing it as "Grahwl". Then it became annoying that I wasn't pronouncing it correctly, and I just referred to it as "The Game" or "That Addictive Game" for about 2 more years. Then eventually, and even today, I simply say "Grahwl" again.

So you guys and gals have heard my story, on the subject. Now, it's time to hear yours'. How do you pronounce "Graal"?

Creating an actual poll for this would be nice.

That's just wrong. Gra-hl soulds like a game, grr-ayle sounds like some paint remover or something.

Dont make fun of the way I pronounce it. You dont see me complaining about Spark910 XD!

[VeX_RaT_Boy]

"gr-all"

Is how I say it.

[Mykel]

grahl.....

[URBANLEGEND]

Gray Ill

(10 chars....)

[XiLe]

I still say the originally thought pronunciation, 'Grail', as from Classic's four holy grails... 'Grahl', "Grr-awl', 'Gra-hl', and that type of pronunciation sounds sort of like something out of a Pokemon game to me... then again it's probably just my opinion

[Skyerus]

Gra-al

[TESTRETIS]

...growl

[Zero Hour]

It's Grawl. I asked Stefan, I asked god himself. For the love of all that is pure, it's Grawl.

Each one has your own way of pronoucing it.

Sure, but that certainly does not mean that they are correct.

The 'aa' in 'Graal' forms an 'ah'/'aw' sound.

The creator of the game says it's "Grawl/Grahl". Is that not enough?

[Raelyn]

I call it Grael, just like Raelyn, without the yn.
My friends who don't even play graal pronounce it like that, my family does too.

[Eagle]

[Ryan1111]

wrong its like Grail der

[XJOKERX]

I pronounce it as Grail.

[Goboom]

Ga-R-Al....

[RagedWebJAL]

But then again, it could be interperated<sp?> a few different ways. I just think that this is rather an interesting subject, seeing to it that we all play the game, but many of us do not know the actual pronounciation of the game that we're playing. At this point, I am saying that there are no "right"/"wrong" way of saying it. I just like the confirmation that I'm not alone in this matter.

[Thallen]

Gr-ahl! I win.

[Neonight]

Grail. I would not call it this, had the main Graal quest been something other than collecting "Graals" that looked suspiciously like Crayola Grails. ;P

[Silver Knight]

^ Uh-oh, watch what you say, wouldn't want to be banhammered.
On topic:
I know it's pronounced as Grahl, but I have been saying it as Grail ever since I first joined. Everytime I think/say Grahl in reference to Graal, it just doesn't feel right.

[Monkeyboy_McGee]

Heh, nice question. I pronounce it Grahl.

On another note...how do you guys pronounce "GK"? For some weird reason, inside my head i always think of it as "gee-kay", but if i say it, which i rarely do, its "jee-kay". XD

[Darlene159]

I have always pronounced it Grawl or Grahl

[Nappa]

Gra-owl or Grail.. It just comes out differently when it wants to.

[sage_scooby]

I pronounce it

Gr-awl

[Dach]

I've always pronounced it Grahl. Even with the grails, I just couldn't bring myself to pronounce it against it's spelling.

[calum]

I think Stefan should record himself saying it then problem sovled!

[Crono]

I pronounce it grr-ale because its just easier to say. Grawl sounds stupid ;

[Brad]

grah al


i know its wrong but i dont care

[Googi]

I pronounce it correctly.

[Projectshifter]

I occasionaly speak to players and staff on the phone, and I have always said "Grail" such as Gray-l I suppose? Such as the "Holy Grail" I guess it would be. I have heard some say "Grawl" and it just sounds stupid and annoying. Perhaps I will remember to ask Stefan what it should be
