Common Mispronunciations of Audubon Society
Not AW-dyoo-bon soh-SY-uh-tee
The middle beat of the name is a flat duh and carries no y glide, so the three parts run AW-duh-bahn. Audubon himself was born in Haiti to a French father, which is why the spelling looks foreign.
Not aw-duh-BAHN suh-SY-uh-tee
Each word has one peak, AW at the front of the first and SY in the middle of the second. Moving the first peak to the end makes the surname unrecognisable.
