How Do You Pronounce Thiel?

Orpheus10,

There is a slight difference in the pronunciation of TEEL and TEAL but it would take a trained ear (like that of an actor or someone for who English is/was a second language).
TEEL has a long 'e' and TEAL has a long 'e' with a soft 'a'.
It would be like saying MERRY, MARRY and MARY. There is a difference if you were to strive to pronounce them the way they are spelt.
I know it sounds like splitting hairs (hares) but I remember this from some college course.

.
Nonoise, you are splitting already split hairs. They are the same.
.

Split they are but it's amazing how they can dice.
As a youth I always thought it funny how sometimes someone from another country would say something that sounded funny but it was pointed out to me that they were speaking it correctly and it was I who was mangling the word.

Whow i didnt know that.Dudes!

A hi-five to Hifihvn!
