Pronouncing “Valgrind”

Wow. From http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/faq.html#faq.pronounce:

1.1. How do you pronounce “Valgrind”?

The “Val” as in the world “value”. The “grind” is pronounced with a short ‘i’ — ie. “grinned” (rhymes with “tinned”) rather than “grined” (rhymes with “find”).

Don’t feel bad: almost everyone gets it wrong at first.
