The word "vided" is spelled with a "d" in the middle rather than a "t". This is because it comes from the root verb "vide", which is pronounced with a voiced "d" sound, as indicated by the IPA phonetic transcription of /vīd/. When "-ed" is added to form the past tense, it retains the same voiced "d" sound, thus making the correct spelling "vided". Using correct spelling in writing is important for effective communication and professionalism.
