People are only just realizing how to pronounce Roald Dahl’s name – and you’ve probably been saying it wrong your whole life
Renowned children’s author Roald Dahl is a beloved figure in the literary world, but it seems that many of us have been mispronouncing his name for far too long. A recent report has revealed that even some big fans of his work may not be aware of the correct way to say his surname.
It appears that many people are saying “Dahl” as if it were two syllables – DAH-l, but according to experts and those close to the author’s family, it should actually be pronounced more like RAWL-dahl. Yes, you read that right – RAWL-dahl!
It’s not clear how widespread this mistake is, but it’s possible that many of us have been getting it wrong for years without even realizing it. Perhaps it’s because the name seems so simple or the mispronunciation has simply become a sort of cultural norm.
Roald Dahl is widely known for his iconic works such as “Matilda,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and many other timeless classics, but this surprising revelation could be enough to shake the foundations of even the most devoted fans.
