My wife's a business analyst, so it shouldn't be too hard.... "Zall" is probably as good as "Ex-Hall," which is how I tend to pronounce it. (There are apparently two correct ways to pronounce "Ra's Al Ghul," depending on whether you're live-action or animated.) I just didn't think "Ex-Hale" would be the right way to go -- especially coming from "Coriander." :-) I may have to start using “data-blort” in everyday conversations.

“Zall” is probably as good as “Ex-Hall,” which is how I tend to pronounce it. (There are apparently two correct ways to pronounce “Ra’s Al Ghul,” depending on whether you’re live-action or animated.) I just didn’t think “Ex-Hale” would be the right way to go — especially coming from “Coriander.” :-)

As for X'Hal, I thought is was pronounced "Zall". Have I been voicing it wrong? Cheers, B I think I’m going to miss these, Tom, they’ve been very enjoyable each week.

As for X’Hal, I thought is was pronounced “Zall”. Have I been voicing it wrong?
