The word "emphatic" is often misspelled as "emphatitic". To better understand its spelling, let's break it down using IPA phonetic transcription. "Emphatic" is pronounced /ɛmˈfatɪk/, with emphasis on the second syllable. The "em-" prefix denotes intensity, while the "-atic" suffix indicates a quality or action. The letter "p" has been added mistakenly, likely due to the similar sound of "mph" and "ph". So, remember to spell it correctly as "emphatic" without the extra "p".
