How Do You Spell SMICKERING?
Pronunciation: [smˈɪkəɹɪŋ] (IPA) 
The word "smickering" is a colloquial term that has caused confusion in its spelling. The correct IPA phonetic transcription of the word is /ˈsmɪkərɪŋ/. The "s" at the beginning of the word makes an /s/ sound, followed by the /m/ sound. The "i" and "e" combine to make an /ɪ/ sound, which is followed by the /k/ and /r/ sounds. The second "i" is pronounced like an /ɪ/ sound once again. The final syllable, "-ing," is pronounced as /ɪŋ/.
