How Do You Spell WAST GRATIFIED BY?
Pronunciation: [wɒst ɡɹˈatɪfˌa͡ɪd bˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the phrase "wast gratified by" may seem confusing due to the archaic usage of "wast" instead of "was." In IPA phonetic transcription, "wast" is pronounced /wɑst/, with a long "a" sound. "Gratified," on the other hand, is pronounced /ˈɡrætəˌfaɪd/ with the stress on the second syllable. The phrase means that someone was pleased or satisfied by something, and its proper use can add a touch of elegance to your writing.
