The spelling of the word "hitting offs" can be a bit tricky due to the double consonants in both "hitting" and "offs". The IPA phonetic transcription for "hitting" is /ˈhɪtɪŋ/, with a short "i" sound and a hard "t" sound. The IPA transcription for "offs" is /ɒfs/, with a short "o" sound and a voiced "f" sound. When combined, the double consonants create a sharp, staccato sound that emphasizes the impact of "hitting offs".
