The correct spelling of the word commonly misspelled as "confort" is actually spelled as "comfort." The correct pronunciation of the word is as follows: /ˈkʌmfərt/. The first syllable is pronounced with a short "u" sound, like "uh," followed by the stressed syllable "fert" in the second syllable. The word "comfort," which means a state of physical ease or soothing, is a common word in the English language and should be spelled correctly to avoid misunderstandings.
