How Do You Spell ANSCOM?
Pronunciation: [ˈanskɒm] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Anscom" may appear confusing without knowing its phonetic transcription. It is pronounced /ænskəm/ with the stress on the first syllable. The "c" in Anscom is pronounced as in "cat". The combination of "sc" can sound like "sh" in some English words, such as "scenery". But in Anscom, it is pronounced as "sk". This pronunciation rule is followed when "sc" is followed by a vowel, as it is in "Anscom".
