How Do You Spell SQUEAMS?
Pronunciation: [skwˈiːmz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "squeams" is quite unusual, and may leave many scratching their heads in confusion. However, when broken down phonetically using IPA transcription, the spelling makes more sense. The word is pronounced /skwiːmz/ which explains the use of the letters "s" and "q" together to create the /sk/ sound. The use of the letter "e" between the "q" and "u" is to indicate a long vowel sound. Finally, the "s" at the end indicates the plural form of the word.
