The correct spelling of the word "manurings" is with a single "n" in the middle, not two as commonly seen. The pronunciation of this word, according to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), is /mæn(j)ərɪŋz/. The "j" sound in parentheses represents a slight variation in pronunciation between speakers, as some may pronounce it as "man-yurings." Manurings refer to the process of applying manure to agricultural land as a fertilizer.
