The spelling of "IDWSF DST" may seem confusing at first, but it can easily be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word is composed of the initials of several words, including "International Disabled Winter Sports Federation" and "Deaflympics Snowboarding and Skiing Technical". The letters "DST" likely stand for "Department of Snowboarding and Skiing Technical". When pronounced with IPA, the word would sound like "ˌɪntərˈnæʃənl ˌdɪsəbld ˈwɪntər spɔrts ˌfɛdərˈeɪʃən diːflmpɪks ˈsnoʊbɔrdɪŋ ænd ˈskiɪŋ ˈtɛknɪkəl
