How Do You Spell WAST PLEASED BY?
Pronunciation: [wɒst plˈiːzd bˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The phrase "wast pleased by" may seem like an archaic and confusing spelling to some. However, it is actually an example of Early Modern English, the language spoken during the Tudor and Elizabethan eras. In IPA phonetic transcription, "wast pleased by" would be spelled /wɑst plizd baɪ/. The "-ed" ending in "pleased" indicates the past tense, and "wast" is the second person singular form of "be," which has since been replaced by "were." Overall, this phrase is an interesting look into the evolution of the English language.
