The word "gassman" is spelled with two s's, not one, because the middle syllable is stressed. This stress creates a short vowel sound followed by a voiced consonant, which means the final consonant is doubled. According to IPA phonetic transcription, the pronunciation of "gassman" would be /ˈɡæsmæn/. It is important to spell words correctly, even if they are not commonly used, in order to effectively communicate and avoid confusion.
