How do you pronounce trolling?
 

I've recently been informed that "trolling" is supposed to be pronounced like "trawling", which makes so much sense but I just cannot get used to it - I've said it "trolling" as in troll under the bridge for such a long time, rather than trawl or the troll sound in trolley. :o

I say it as in troll from trolley.

T + Rolling is how it should sound.

That's what I've been saying it as for years, but somebody pointed out that to troll someone is to bait them; and trawling is where you use bait to catch marine life... my life is a lie

Trawling is a completely different word, though. It's just transferable to a baiting situation.

Troll is derived from the obnoxious monsters from childrens tales. The person who gave you that information was wrong, and I'd probably cut off all future contact from them if I were you.

Well she did move to Wales so it's pretty much the same thing as cutting her off.

The way that it's supposed to..

If I were to say "trolololol" aloud I'd say it "trawlololol"... I think that's probably because of how lol is pronounced though.

..trolley trolling...

Like rolling with a T at beginning

Why have all you troll as in trolley people voted "troll-ing" then?! Troll as in trolley would be trawling... I say it trolling rhyming with rolling, not trolling rhyming with bawling

Because troll as in trolley isnt trawl? :laugh:

How on earth do you pronounce trolley?! They are one and the same!?

Trawling for fish...

Trolley rhymes with lolly

Troll - LOL

Trawl is nothing to do with anything unless you have an accent.

The way I say troll - it rhymes with roll.

But your Scottish brogue probably struggles to work out the true English phonetics at play here.

Trolley rhymes with dolly

Trawl rhymes with shawl

That is how I say it too.

The way I say trawl and shawl is the exact same pronunciation as doll. I'm so weirded out by all of you :laugh: aaahhh
