some say it like "rah-gull",
others like "rah-jul",

i just pronounce it the same way i say "rigel". yes, like the star.
for those who don't know, ragel is a parser.

<joke>
i always pronounced it "jay-rule"

i pronounce mojang "mazhong"

and still liPes, not anything else</joke>
edit so its more CA related:
Q: what is it called when i drop my computer in the middle of a CA simulation?
A: soup spilled on the floor
