It's definitely B. The first one just makes you sound posh. Or American. Or both.

Trole? Like, seriously? It's even difficult to say it like that. It's troll (rhymes with doll), a simple, snappy little word.

Right, It's actually a word derived from Norse mythology, and the closest pronunciation I can find is this Swedish one:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-ett_troll.ogg

Like Tron (the film) but with double "l" on the end instead of an "n".

This forum always makes me realise that people pronounce things funny. It's A.
