How Do You Spell DAMM?
Pronunciation: [dˈam] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "DAMM" can be confusing due to its double consonant in the middle. However, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) provides a clear explanation. The word is spelled d-a-m-m, with the symbol /æ/ representing the short 'a' sound as in 'cat' and the symbol /m/ representing the consonant 'm'. The double consonant is called a gemination, indicating that the 'm' sound is elongated. The word "DAMM" can also be spelled with only one 'm,' but adding the extra 'm' indicates emphasis or intensity.
