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]

How about I call it "your mother" because it plays hard to get but once you have it, it's so effortlessly easy to use and always leaves you satisfied.....???

Edited by GRIM: 12/23/2014 3:25:38 PMI'm sorry for not caring, but people have been pronouncing my name and other things I hold dear to me any freaking way they please. I've not only had to deal with that, but things that are important to me also get lampooned regularly. So #*!@ it, it's galahorn pronounced the way it's spelled, did I mention I don't care.

FYI, life is a lot more complicated than worrying about a rocket launcher being pronounced correctly. If you can't handle that then you clearly aren't ready for life.

Edited by MOOSAPOLUZA: 12/22/2014 7:01:39 PMI love the subtol tone you used in this post. You must be from chicago, Illinoise. In the hi-archy of mispronounced words, this is exspecially a bad one. I hate when people mispronounce words that you could just ax someone how to pronounce. Irregardless of their thought process, if given 2 choices they should always choice the ladder. Well im done ranting. Time to get me a cup of melk and a bowl of sherbert P.s. i call it jellyhorn so this was a mute point after i mowed it over

Edited by Zombee Rainman: 12/23/2014 3:06:15 PMDON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE!!!!! I know how to pronounce it, but most people have trouble with basic English, not to mention trying to teach them how to say "Yelling Horn" in an ancient language.

I know how to properly pronounce it, but I say gal-a-horn among friends to avoid confusion
-
OP-is-a-fig-horn*

Da greet

Shut the -blam!- up

Its a nickname more than a gross mispronounce of the word. Saying Gjallarhorn in common place just takes too long. Saying Jally or Ghorn is just easier. Also some, like myself like to make fun of the name. Like Jellyhorn or Gallyhorn.

-blam!-ing Nerd!!!

Stop saying tomato

I've always pronounced it properly. But I can't help it... Sometime I have to call it My Erotic G-Horny.
-
please care about ANYTHING else. #trivialpostistrivial.
-
It's called GA-jala-mh-hern!
-
I call it Jellyhorn...problem?

I thank you for pointing this out as I have friends that mispronounce it and don't give a crap. I don't think that people that mispronounce it are ignorant. It really depends on how much they care. If they don't care but know better then they are ignorant but if they don't know than they are uninformed. I think you are getting so much hate because you offend everyone that is uninformed or doesn't give a crap. Just letting you know why you are getting hate but I do agree that people mispronounce this ALOT!
-
It's because a lot of high school kids play this, that don't know what letters might be silent, and are just generally lazy when it comes to pronouncing words correctly.
-
I'm going to call it gal ha horn And -blam!- u

If Mexicans can call our lord and savior hesus, then I can call that thing whatever I damn please!

I'm playing with Armenians, so I call it the Yalla Horn !

Edited by DeltaCasual: 12/23/2014 2:17:29 AMBecause we all grew up on our mothers lap as she told us the Scandinavian tale... I'm not ignorant just not informed that would be like them sliding some ancient Mongolian term in there and me giving you crap for mispronouncing it and calling you ignorant. Common lanuage/English I'll let you get away with it but not something this specific. You should consider calling the public uninformed not ignorant /fix
-
Don't care.

Atleast spell it correctly..jeez
