Quit calling it "Galarhorn"!

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... [b]BLVCKVP[/B] [quote]Our clan name is called Heimdallr just because we have the Gjallarhorn.[/quote] [b]CptSubtext[/b] [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]

    But seriously, if this post gets taken seriously can you imagine how many other items we'd have to pronounce right? F that noise. What if we had to pronounce Crota with five A's and extra emphasis on the T like Eris does. What if we had to pronounce Atheon as At-theon instead of Aytheon. F that noise. My American tongue makes its own rules.[spoiler]lol jk[/spoiler]
