Common Mispronunciations of Row
Not RAW
Row takes a long oh here, so a row of chairs ends on the sound of toe.
Not ROH-uh
Nothing is sounded after the vowel, because the w is there only to keep the o long.
Tip: A row meaning a quarrel is the odd one out, said ROW to rhyme with cow, while a row of seats and to row a boat are both ROH.
