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]
