The spelling of the word "met face face" might seem strange at first, but it is actually a perfectly valid and phonetically accurate spelling. The word is composed of two syllables, with the first syllable pronounced as "met" (IPA: /mɛt/) and the second syllable pronounced twice as "face" (IPA: /feɪs feɪs/). The repetition of the second syllable emphasizes the importance or intensity of the action being described. So, "met face face" could indicate a strongly face-to-face encounter or interaction.
