How Do You Spell STRADLIN?

Pronunciation: [stɹˈadlɪn] (IPA)

The word "stradlin" may seem unusual to some, but it can be explained using phonetic transcription. The correct spelling is actually "straddling" /ˈstræd.lɪŋ/. The "g" sound is replaced with an "l" sound due to a common pronunciation error called metathesis. This occurs when the order of sounds in a word is switched. In this case, the "d" and "g" were switched to form "stradling." However, the correct spelling is still "straddling."
