How Do You Spell WERT NEGLIGENT?
Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt nˈɛɡlɪd͡ʒənt] (IPA) 
The word "wert negligent" may look unfamiliar and confusing to some, but it is simply an archaic form of the phrase "were negligent." In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be spelled /wɜːt nɛɡlədʒənt/ with the stressed syllable on "negligent." This spelling reflects the pronunciation of English during the Middle English era, which used "wert" instead of "were" and did not have standardized spelling. While rare today, such archaic spellings can be found in older works of literature or historical documents.
