Can you spell it tai kwon do?

You CAN spell it "tai kwon do" (no one can stop you), but it would not be an accurate translation of the Korean word 태권도, and it would not represent a correct pronunciation. The Korean hangeul translated as "Taekwondo" is often mispronounced. "Tai" is typically pronounced with a long "i" as in the English word "tie." This is correct for the Chinese Tai Chi (Tie - chee), but would be an incorrect pronunciation for the "tae" of Taekwondo, which sounds like the "a" in "tack."Taekwondotae kwon doTaekwon-Dotaegwondoare all accepted spellings, but tai kwon do is not correct.
