It's like "drow," yes.
Almost everyone disagrees with you - including Gary Gygax, WotC, and etymologists.
It's not that they disagree; it's more that he is objectively incorrect.
It's OK! He can continue to tell his gaming group that. They won't discover the truth until they find Google! That'll never happen!
No, it really isn't settled, since Google leads you to wikipedia which lists both pronunciations of "Drow" on that page. Chuckle all you like and be as petty as you wish- the issue is not settled and likely will not be for the foreseeable future. I don't care what your little pronunciation site says; I never saw it before your link and see no reason to accept it as authoritative now. But given that on Thursday night I had to go to an emergency room and spend two nights in a hospital, and have spent much of this week scrambling to set up follow-up doctor appointments among other things, I have better things to do than argue pronunciations on the Internet.
Thank you. Accepted.I'm really sorry I upset you. It was not my intention to make you angry, and that article was just supposed to be a useful and interesting resource. I was just having a little fun over what I felt was a trivial matter. Please accept my apologies.
