The spelling of the word "siders" can be confusing, as it could be written with or without an "e" after the "d." The correct spelling, however, is "siders" without the extra "e." This word is pronounced /ˈsaɪdərz/ with the stress on the first syllable /ˈsaɪd/. The IPA phonetic transcription shows that the word is made up of two syllables, the first being an open vowel /aɪ/ and the second a closed syllable /dərz/ ending with a voiced "z" sound.
