I can't believe how many people seem to have no idea how to spell this word. It's not wah-la, or walla, or any variation thereof. There's a v in it, and a whole bunch of vowels. Like viola (or maybe viola) but different.
Not that it's something that matters terribly except to pedantic nit-pickers.
That'd be me! I'm the only person I know who skips off the e at the end. I understand why people say it with an -ay sound, and I feel vaguely hypocritical to be telling them off for it... but it really irks me anyway.
