The spelling of the word "re nigs" has sparked controversy in recent years. The word, which means to go back on a promise or bargain, is often spelled with the letters "n-i-g-s." However, this spelling is considered offensive and derogatory towards Black people. The correct spelling of the word is actually "re-neges," with a soft "g" sound at the end. This can be written using IPA phonetic transcription as /riːˈnɛdʒɪz/. It's important to be aware of the connotations and potential harm certain spellings and words can have.
