How Do You Spell REGRETTED?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪɡɹˈɛtɪd] (IPA)

The word "Regretted" is spelled with two "t"s at the end, contrary to how it might sound. The correct pronunciation is /rɪˈɡretɪd/. The "t" sound is produced by the tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge, which is the bumpy area behind the upper front teeth. This sound is crucial to the clarity and meaning of the word, as the addition or subtraction of a single "t" can change the tense or function of the verb. Proper spelling and enunciation are essential for effective communication.
