How Do You Spell SCOAT?
Pronunciation: [skˈə͡ʊt] (IPA) 
The word "scoat" may seem like a strange spelling choice, but it is actually a valid way to write the word "scout" with a more Scottish pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /skɔt/. The "oa" has been replaced with just an "o" sound, while the -t at the end is still pronounced. This variation in spelling shows how language can evolve and reflect regional differences in pronunciation, even for common words like "scout."
