How Do You Spell SCHORLOUS?
Pronunciation: [skˈɔːləs] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Schorlous" is inherently confusing to many people. To provide an explanation, it's helpful to use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) phonetic transcription. The word starts with the "sk" sound, followed by an "aw" sound (as in the word "caught") and the "l" sound. The second syllable contains the "u" sound (as in "but"), followed by the "s" and "sh" sounds. It concludes with the "uhs" sound (as in "less"). While it may seem daunting at first, practicing the IPA can greatly improve one's ability to understand and correctly spell words.
