Pronounciation and Spelling

I pronounce bowl as boul. I am corrected many times that its not bowel. cos it never registers. Today I tried to spell Abert's Towhee as Abbott's because I remember the latter as pronouciation and tried to spell it that way. For some reason that first name always eludes me.
