I purposely mispronounce it.

But I do that with many words.

I’ve followed Auburn for over four decades and have never heard anyone call it AR-burn.

How can you expect normal people to get it right if Auburners don't even know who they are? Plainsmen? Barners? War eagles? Second class Tigers? get it together Baw, then c'mon back.

It’s pronounced “kouw kaullege.”

It’s not difficult.
