Common Mispronunciations of Model
Not MOH-duhl
A single o between consonants stays short here, the o of hot, so the word does not open like mode.
Not muh-DEL
MAH carries the beat and the el ending sinks to duhl, so the word never rhymes with hotel.
Tip: Modal, meaning relating to mode, is MOH-duhl with a long o, and is the one word worth keeping apart from this.
