How Do You Spell SCRAT?

Pronunciation: [skɹˈat] (IPA)

The word "Scrat" is an interesting example of English spelling as it deviates from standard pronunciation rules. The word is pronounced /skræt/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "S" is pronounced as /sk/ due to the following consonant "C". The "C" itself is silent while the "R" is emphasised, resulting in the pronounced sound of /kr/. The final "AT" is pronounced as /æt/ in RP (Received Pronunciation). This unique spelling of "Scrat" shows the irregular nature of English orthography.
