How Do You Spell ATTRITEE?
Pronunciation: [ɐtɹˈa͡ɪtiː] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "attritee" may seem strange, but it is derived from the verb "to attrite," meaning to wear down or weaken through persistent pressure. The person or thing being worn down is the "attritee," spelled /əˌtraɪˈtiː/. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word can be broken down into four parts: a schwa sound /ə/, followed by the stress on the second syllable /ˌtraɪ/, and ending with a long "e" sound /iː/. Despite its unusual spelling, "attritee" remains a valid and useful word in the English language.
