The word "writ to" is a variation of the phrase "written to" and is often used as a more formal or literary-sounding alternative. The pronunciation can be transcribed in IPA as /rɪt tu/, with the "w" sound replaced by a simple "r" sound. This is because the "w" is often silent in English, particularly when it appears at the beginning of a word followed by the vowel "i" or "e". Thus, "writ to" can be pronounced as "rit to" without changing the meaning of the word.
