Maciek,
I pronounce it "goodle". I had originally thought to call it the
"Geospatial Object Oriented Data Abstraction Library" (GOODAL)
to make the right sound obvious, but I was too lazy to type GOODAL
all the time, so I dropped the OO part. Some folks might say I
dropped it from more than the name. :-)
Most folks pronounce the library "gee-dal" which is ok too but not
my preference.
Best regards,
