In Response To: So... how do you pronounce Durandal? (Evil Otto)

: OK up until I got to Bungie I pronounced it

: du-RANDAL

: Just like the narrator in the Forge tutorial movie. Then I get to Bungie and
: find that some old timers (like Matt) here pronounced it

: DUR-n-DOLL

: Just curious, but how do most of you pronounce it? Anybody have any ideas how
: the sword Durandal was pronounced by Roland himself?

Upon first reading the word I pronounced it DUR-an-dhol. Then after hearing the Forge tutorial, vee-ola, I retrained myself to read it as du-RANDAL but I slip back and forth. I am alla time mispronouncing words in my thoughts as I am reading them until I finally hear them pronounced, but I see-gooie quickly to saying/thinking it both ways so that I can understand what is being said no matter how it is stated. Not that Durandal comes up in spoken conversation much, but it has. Oars de vors anybody?
