To stop me from sounding stupid in public, how do you pronounce "Baal"? Is it said like "ball" or "bale". I hear Baal pronounced both ways and I don't know which one is correct. I for one hope its pronounced like ball because it leads to a lot of dirty jokes (hehe)

As do I, "Ba'al", it makes more sence that using the word that is used for bound hay.

According to wikipedia, the original word Baal is pronounced [baΚal].
Now, I could never read pronounciation guides, but I always pronounced it with a long a, kinda like 'bahl'.

there are 2 ways to pronounce it.
the Biblical way of pronouncing the word(the God and the Demon of the same name) is Bay-Ale with the Y and A being combined.
the other way to pronounce it is Ball.
Bay-Ale, while really cool, doesn't flow quite as nicely as Ball.
say Baal Predator with both pronounciations. it sounds better with Ball.

Well, I think you say it like its said in Dutch.
Try google translate, then Dutch (Nederlands),
type in Baal and then select the button that lets it be spoken. That should be it. Otherwise, i dont know how to say because you Englishspeaking say the 'a' very different then we Dutch do 
And the way you can say it in Dutch sound awsome.

If I'm reading this Hebrew IPA right, then it should be pronounced 'Buh-ull.' The heck?
I've always pronounced it and heard it pronounced with the long A.
Oh, and comiserations about what happened with those three tanks. I always thought Francis was going to bite it before you.

I pronounce it bhaal. Like ball, but a slight 'h' sound after the B. Or Bay-all. IIRC either is actually correct.
