The thread title is how do you pronounce Troll? so my answer is still A and i'm not going to change that just because someone on an internet forum posts a link saying otherwise.

B =



And I doubt very much that Kizzy, Scott, Glenn and the gang look like that, so that proves it is A.

I don't care. Saying it like the B version just sounds weird.

IMO, because it has the word 'roll' within it, should be enough evidence that it should be pronounced like A over B.

I have no explanation for that.

But the troll thing is just cause of where I live I suppose. Everyone I know would say troll like A rather than like B, so maybe that's why it sounds so odd to me.

Niamh, where in are you from?

I used to go out with a girl from Cork, and she said Ve-hee-cul for Vehicle. Always made me laugh.

It has been proved that the answer is B, so everyone who chose A must just change the way they say it in the future

This is something that is totally reliant on your upbringing and background, so therefore there is no correct pronunciation. Even though A is the right way to say it.

Grammatically it must be B as the present tense is pronounced trolling not 'trole'ing?

I'm not sure exactly. She said it was countryside. It was a relationship that burned bright and fizzled out quickly. We didn't spend a lot of time discussing each others backgrounds. She was really lovely though, and I could have listened to her voice forever.
