Linda Ronstadt > Hank when it comes to pronouncing bayou.



I probably spelled her name wrong.

Doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I am humored by the lasting influence of that song on the pronunciation of the word.

My grandpa and his siblings pronounced it "bye-yuh".

I often need to say just the "by" part, but spelling it that way seems really odd.
