The spelling of the word "art awed" can be confusing due to the pronunciation of the second word. "Art" is pronounced with a short "a" sound followed by the "r" sound, as in "ah-rt". "Awed", on the other hand, is pronounced with a long "o" sound followed by a "d" sound, as in "aw-d". To spell this word correctly, we must remember the combination of the "a" and "r" sounds in "art" and the "o" and "d" sounds in "awed". The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˈɑːrt ɔːd/.
