How Do You Spell WAS SYMPATHY?
Pronunciation: [wɒz sˈɪmpəθi] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "was sympathy" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). "Was" is pronounced /wʌz/ and "sympathy" is pronounced /ˈsɪmpəθi/. The "w" in "was" is pronounced as a voiced labiovelar approximant, while the "s" in "sympathy" is pronounced as an unvoiced alveolar fricative. The stress in "sympathy" falls on the second syllable. Therefore, the correct spelling of the phrase is "was sympathy" with a "w" and not "has sympathy" with an "h".
