The spelling of the word "batzer" may seem confusing, but it follows the rules of English phonetics. In IPA phonetic transcription, "batzer" would be written as /ˈbætsər/. The initial "b" is followed by an "a" sound, represented by the short "a" symbol. The "t" and "s" sounds are both pronounced distinctly, with the "er" at the end representing the sound of the letter "r". While unusual, the spelling of "batzer" accurately reflects its phonetic pronunciation.
