The spelling of the word "faught" is actually incorrect. The correct spelling of the past tense of "fight" in Standard English is "fought" /fɔːt/. However, "faught" /fɔːt/ is seen as a nonstandard or dialectal variant of the correct spelling. It may be used regionally, such as in Scottish or Irish dialects, but it is not considered correct usage in Standard English. Therefore, it's important to use the correct spelling and pronunciation of words to effectively communicate in English.
