Unless you are Dutch, waffle is pronounced WOFF-ell.

ROFL has the same o sound as 'rolling' IMO. Whereas 'waffle' rhymes with 'awful'.

The way I pronounce rofl and waffle perfectly rhyme. The first letter is the only sound that is different to me.

The O in ROFL is "on" -- it's not part of "rolling" -- so it's "raw-ffle" not "roll-ffle". |

What the hell is wrong with all you people, ROFL is most certainly "RAW-ful."
And GIF is "jiff", I don't care what the first letter stands for.
And Roof does not sound anything like the sound a dog makes.

In Ingmar's case, he is Californian, and thus does not have the range of vowel sounds normal people have. I have this argument with him all the time.  |

Never heard that in my life, it's "ROH-FL", just the way it looks. If god meant there to be an A in it he would have put one there. I mean, raffle? That's just, wrong. |

Raffle isn't pronounced like waffle either. Depends on how you pronounce "waffle". (the circularness of this entire argument makes me smile) |
'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.
