Why does everyone mispronounce it? The proper French pronunciation is Tee-bo-doh

Might as well ask the same question of the tens of millions of Americans who "Americanized", their names when coming to the US. Some immigrants altered their surname to better assimilate, and avoid prejudice.

I thought I was bad for making fun of people who pronounce “mootz-a-della” and “man-i-goat.”
