The spelling of the word 'gandy' can be confusing because it is pronounced differently in different regions. In a standard British accent, it is pronounced as /ˈɡændi/ with stress on the first syllable. However, in some areas of the UK, particularly in Northern England, it is pronounced with stress on the second syllable, as /ɡænˈdi/. In American English, the stress is typically on the first syllable with a short 'a' sound, like in 'sand', resulting in the pronunciation of /ˈɡændi/.
