The spelling of the phrase "went way flesh" may seem unusual, but it can be explained through phonetics. The first word, "went," is pronounced [wɛnt], with the letter "e" representing the short "e" sound. The next word, "way," is pronounced [weɪ], with the letters "a" and "y" representing the long "a" sound. Finally, "flesh" is pronounced [flɛʃ], with the letters "e" and "sh" representing the "eh" and "sh" sounds, respectively. Therefore, the spelling of the phrase follows standard English spelling rules for these sounds.
