How Do You Spell SCHMOLLER?

Pronunciation: [ʃmˈɒlə] (IPA)

The word "schmoller" is often spelled with two L's, but according to its IPA phonetic transcription, it should only have one L. The first sound, /ʃ/, represents the "sh" sound, followed by the /m/ sound and then the short /o/ sound represented by the symbol /ɒ/. The two L's at the end, however, are not necessary, as the final sound is represented by the /ɚ/ symbol, which indicates a rhotic "r" sound without a final vowel sound. So remember: it's "schmoler" with one L, not two!
