Rage of Baloney

Ironically enough, it turns out that's exactly how I've always guessed how it was pronounced - a silent 'e' didn't seem right to me (and I'm often wrong when it comes to pronunciation - for instance I still pronounce 'Gridania' as Grid-Dan-yia instead of Grid-dahn-yia (with an emphasis on the 'a' pronounced how it's written as in 'dan', instead of emphasizing the 'a' as an 'r' sound is it turns out is how it's meant to be pronounced.

But then I'm Australian, so my funny dialect often causes trouble.)

It should be pronounced like Malone or Stallone. Just because there's an 'e' on the end of something doesn't mean we should do anything with it.

Funnily enough those names come from Italian (I'm pretty sure they do anyway) and in Italian the 'e' would actually be pronounced (Think 'latte' or 'forte'). It depends entirely on what language they're borrowing it from. However, since this is magicland where there are no rules, they can do whatever they want with pronunciation - Hence, 'Halon-ay.'

I don't know why but I kind of went from grid-uh-nee-ah to gri-day-nya Must be the kangaroos messing with our heads.
