If anyone on here is a singer and knows IPA, you would understand that what I'm saying is the correct pronunciation. Everything else is an example of regional accents

No matter how much it is explained "arrow" and "aero" sound the exact same to me.
I know that they are called "AIR Osmith", I have seen them in concert, but that sounds just like "ARROWsmith" to myself and many other people.
No one is going to agree on how to say it because everyone has different accents no matter where you live.
Now as far as Arabesque (the real topic) I doesn't really bother me if someone spells it wrong because I am not a spelling bee winner myself. So if it makes sense to them and they know what they are talking about then it doesn't mean squat to me.

I agree to an extent, but I think the issue for me is that AEROBESQUE and ARABESQUE are completely different root words. Like, if you say scorpian instead of scorpion... that's just misspelled. But if you write hoarsefly instead of horsefly, then we have a problem lol

AH I gottcha now. I just look at it as a spelling mistake instead but I can see how it can get on the nerves of some.
then ii apologize, where i cheer in MA ive never heard a difference, nor in Maine, or Connecticut
i agree that is frustrating to have arabesque spelled wrong but it really has nothing to do with how aero is the same or different then arrow....

I think Rich had a good explanation (http://fierceboard.com/forum/threads/its-called-an-arabesque-folks.11812/page-4#post-266993). It's not a huge difference, but I've never heard aero pronounced as arrow in any of the 3 gyms I've cheered at in eastern/western ma or college.
1. I actually DID NOT know that - Ill try and fix my spelling in the future
2. Aerosmith vs. Air-O-Smith.... Dont hear a difference.
Side note: When I started cheering back when I was 16 - I thought it was called "aerobreast"
