Answers:
It's wheelbarrow. That will teach you to contradict your mom!
Sorry but your mom is right - it's wheel barrow
It is barrow, you can check out home depot's web site.
The correct way is Wheelbarrow, but i say wheelbarrel just because thats what im used to but technically speaking it is pronounced Wheelbarrow
barrow
Once again, parents are not as dumb as children think they are!
Mom is right!
I've always said barrel.
A barrow is a wheeled device pushed or pulled by a person for moving goods. A small cart 1, 2, or 4 wheels
A wheelbarrow is a one wheeled barrow that is especially good for maneuvering along narrow pathways and for keeping loads balanced when two or more wheels would tip and off-balance the load.
Barrow
Wheel Barrow, but where I'm from (way deep south Alabama) we pronounce it as Wheel barrrr, but alas mom is right.
Yes she's right but I live in the south so they both sound the same!
It does make sense to say wheel barrel. However, slang has had its swarm into vocabulary and I really think it doesn't matter what you call something as long it is in the limits
