It's not pronounced "Gal-ar-horn", it's a Scandinavian word and is pronounced "Yahl-lar-hawrn".
Gjallarhorn is Heimdall's Horn, used to warn the Gods of Ragnarok.
[b]Overall Edit[/b]: It's amazing all the hate this post got. Colourful crowd and language used, as well as people both thanking and hating me for making this a PSA. Keep it trending, the more people that know what it's properly called, the better. People sound really ignorant when they're mispronouncing it like they are.
Think of it this way, as pointed out by a poster... we don't say 'F-jords', I hear everyone say 'Yords' when it comes to an actual Fjord. Why in any case would people really think it's pronounced Gallarhorn...

[quote]Screw the people who say it doesn't matter or who cares. They're just uneducated pricks. I'm always happy when someone corrects my pronunciation so I don't make a fool of myself. You've been saying it wrong. Suck it up and correct yourself.[/quote]

Edited by Bwill198720: 12/21/2014 1:50:57 AMAre you ranting over the pronunciation of Gjallarhorn? LOL First off the word Gjallarhorn is not a descriptive word. It is the actual name of the horn associated with the god Heimdallr and the wise being Mímir. The Old Norse word gjallar would be used to describe a horn. Secondly do you know what Basic English is? Basic English is a simplified subset of regular English created by Charles Kay Ogden to teach non-English speakers or words that denote simple concepts commonly used in everyday life. How does the word Gjallarhorn fall into either of these categories? So before you rant about how uneducated people are you might want to think about how educated you are. Edit: I like how you change a lot in your post after my response.
