The word "he asses" may seem confusing due to its spelling, but using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) can help clarify its pronunciation. The word starts with the "h" sound, followed by the "iy" sound and the "ae" sound, represented by the symbols /hiː ˈæsɪz/. The plural of "ass" is typically spelled with two "s's," but the addition of the word "he" creates the spelling confusion. However, with the correct pronunciation and understanding of IPA, this word can be correctly spelled and spoken.
