The spelling of the word "noecker" is unique and may be unfamiliar to many people. It is pronounced as /ˈnoʊkər/ (noh-kuh-r), with the stress on the first syllable. The word is spelled with an "oe" in the middle because it is a German surname that follows different spelling rules than English. The "ck" at the end of the word is used in German to replace the English "k." Despite the unconventional spelling, "noecker" is a legitimate word and should be respected as such.
