The spelling of the word "more improficient" may cause confusion due to its uncommon use. The word means less skilled or unskilled, and its pronunciation is /mɔr ɪmprə'fɪʃənt/. The prefix "im-" means not or opposite, while "-proficient" means skilled or competent. The addition of "more" means an increased degree of being unskilled. The phonetic transcription helps to clarify the spelling, revealing the stress on the second syllable and the schwa sound in the third syllable.
