How Do You Spell WERT A FIASCO?
Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt ɐ fiːˈaskə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the phrase "wert a fiasco" might seem confusing at first glance. However, it is actually an archaic way of saying "were it a fiasco." The pronunciation of "wert" is [wʊɹt], with the "w" sound at the beginning and a short "u" sound as in "put." "Fiasco" is pronounced [fiˈæskoʊ], with the stress on the second syllable and "a" pronounced as in "cat." In modern English, we typically use the subjunctive form "were" instead of "wert."
