The spelling of the word "piiggs" may seem unusual at first glance, but it follows the English language's complex rules of phonetics. The first "i" is pronounced as "ih" and the second "i" as "ee," while the double "g" indicates a hard "g" sound. The final "s" makes the word plural. Therefore, the correct pronunciation would be "pihgs" with a short "i" sound and a hard "g" sound. While unconventional, the spelling adheres to the principles of English phonetics.
