How Do You Spell YAMMERS?

Pronunciation: [jˈaməz] (IPA)

The word "yammers" is spelled with two M's in the middle, even though it may seem like there should only be one. This is because the vowel sound that comes before the M is pronounced as a "short a" sound, which is represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /æ/. When the /æ/ sound is followed by a single consonant, it is usually a short vowel sound. However, by doubling the M, the vowel sound is held for a longer duration, leading to the correct pronunciation of "yammers."
