here is the answer

How do you pronounce Grbl!?

This is probably the number one question, and the answer is: ā€œIt depends on who you ask.ā€

When Simen Svale Skogsrud first sat down and wrote Grbl in 2009, he named it after a bigger version of a computer mouse. Itā€™s small, useful, and doesnā€™t do much other than what its designed to do. So, if you ask him, itā€™s pronounced like ā€œgerbilā€. If you ask Sonny Jeon, the developer since 2011, heā€™d say itā€™s pronounced ā€˜grr-bleā€™, because he was teased too many times by his wife when working on the project. If you ask Edward Ford of Shapeoko, heā€™d probably say ā€˜garbleā€™, even though he knows better. In any case, pronounce it however youā€™d like. We love hearing the various interpretations of our name!

I have it from a very good authority that it is Grrr-Bull ā€¦ or sometimes Gerbil :slight_smile: ā€¦ but never Gar-Bull :angry:
