The spelling of the word "skeete" can be a bit puzzling at first glance. The correct spelling is actually "skeet," pronounced /skit/. This word refers to a type of clay pigeon shooting in which a target is launched into the air to be shot down. Despite the confusion with the spelling, the pronunciation of the word is straightforward, with the "ee" sound actually being a long "e" sound. So next time you head to the skeet range, remember that it's spelled with just one "e"!
