How Do You Spell STONOR?

Pronunciation: [stˈɒnə] (IPA)

The word "stonor" is a variant of the word "stoner," meaning a person who works with stones. The spelling of this word follows the phonetic transcription of /stoʊnər/, with the stressed syllable being "stone" and the vowel sound in the unstressed syllable being reduced to a schwa /ə/. The ending "-er" is added to form the noun for the person performing the action. Despite being a valid variant, the preferred spelling today is "stoner," likely due to the unfortunate association of "stonor" with drug use.
