How Do You Spell RESPIT?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪspˈɪt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word commonly pronounced "respit" is actually "respite," /ˈrɛspɪt/. This word means a temporary pause or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. The "e" before the "s" in the spelling indicates a long "i" sound, like in the word "bite." The final "e" is silent, but it affects the pronunciation of the preceding vowel.
