How Do You Spell DAMAGED?

Pronunciation: [dˈamɪd͡ʒd] (IPA)

The word "damaged" is spelled with the letter "a" instead of "e" in the first syllable, as it is pronounced as /ˈdæmɪdʒd/ (dam-ijd) instead of /ˈdɛmɪdʒd/ (dem-ijd). This is due to the "a" being pronounced with a shorter, sharper sound, whereas the "e" has a longer, drawn-out sound. Despite this, the word is still commonly misspelled with an "e" in place of the correct "a". It is important to remember that the correct spelling reflects the correct pronunciation.
