Subject: RE: How should HOL be pronounced?

Ching Tsun (chou@cs.ucla.edu) asks how "HOL" should be pronounced.

I have heard it pronounced as one syllable, rhyming with "doll".  Given this
pronunciation and my United States bias towards English :-) I would title
a paper "A HOL theory of..." (rather than "An HOL theory of...").

Like Ching Tsun, I am also curious to see if there is a consensus on the
pronunciation of "HOL".
