Respellings
Respellings refer to the act of changing the spelling of a word to better represent its pronunciation. This can involve altering the arrangement of letters, adding or removing certain letters, or substituting letters with others that more accurately reflect the sounds of the word when spoken aloud. Respelling is often used in informal communication, such as texting or online messaging, to convey a more casual or colloquial tone. Additionally, respellings can be employed as a tool for language learners to better understand and pronounce words in a new language.
