Do you have a reliable source for that claim? HiLo48 (talk) 06:37, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
See English phonology#Phonotatics and Help:Pronunciation respelling key#Notes. There isn't a definitive way to syllabify English words, but /ɒ/ is a checked vowel and never occurs without a consonant after it, making RO-bee likely to be misread as /ˈrbi/, so we write ROB-ee.
