Ghul

[Barmacral]

So, how do you pronounce the Ghul in Shayol Ghul?

[WWWwombat]

Fool.

[Far Dareis Mai]

Same.

[Kivam]

I always pronounced it "apple"

[Talmanes]

I actually pronounced it like ghoul. I mean take out the o and it's the same word.

[Far Dareis Mai]

I always pronounced it "apple"

 

 

HAHAHAAHAHAHa! I cannot tell you how tempted I am in this moment to change the name of our boards to 'Shayol Apple'

[Naeann]

Do it!!!  Just for a day or two. :P  If anything I bet it gets people to stop in here to see what's going on.

 

and gool.

[Cadsuane]

I always pronounced it "apple"

 

Tee!  :D

 

 

Fool.

[Canukistani]

ghoul

[ed2funy]

Almost like 'goal'.

 

 

I guess 'ghoul'.

::)

[claireducky]

Kick em in the goolies!

[Haxorsist]

I pity the fool!

 

What? I just heard the a-team theme song and I'm all psyched!

[Moghedian]

Like 'Gull', tbh... ;D

[Jelly]

Gull.

[Haxorsist]

Doesn't the glossary have notes on pronunciation? I'm pretty sure it says SHAY-ol GHOOL.

[Jelly]

I only read a few bits of the glossary and it sounds too weird that way. ;)

[cosmicpanda]

I find the glossary too one-dimensional to be realistic as it seems that Jordan expected everybody in the WOTland to have American accents to pronounce his words the way he did. What happened to the regional dialects he mentions?

[WWWwombat]

Dictionaries tell you how to pronounce stuff but that doesn't stop people from having accents.

[aemonkristen]

I've always pronounced it gull

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

[Krakalakachkn]

ghoul

[Guest BaLefireP]

I say it like "full"

[Aust]

I say it like "full"

 

Where do I start? Alright, well, first off, while some more modern convention would allow the use of quotes to distinguish the word full, you should remember that for words presented as vocabulary terms, either italics or boldface can be used. Second, I believe you could reconsider your use of verb and preposition here, for example, "I pronounce it similarly to the word full." You see the difference?
