The spelling of the word "bittor" can be confusing for some. It is pronounced as /ˈbɪtər/ with the IPA phonetic transcription. The sound "i" in "bittor" is short and pronounced as "ih" with the symbol /ɪ/. However, the double "t" in "bittor" can be misleading as it suggests a longer sound "ee" but actually, it is pronounced as "t" with the symbol /t/. This word means "bitter" and is commonly used to describe something that has a sharp, unpleasant taste.
