Common Mispronunciations of Appeal To
Not A-peel too
Appeal gives nothing away to its opening syllable, so the phrase begins on a swallowed uh and lands hard on PEEL.
Not uh-PEE-uhl too
Peel is the word hiding at the end of the first half, and peel is one beat.
Tip: In connected speech the to weakens to tuh, as it does after almost any verb.
