The word "glummy" is often mistaken as "gloomy" due to their similar meanings. However, the correct spelling is with double 'm'. The IPA phonetic transcription for "glummy" is /ˈɡlʌmi/, with the stress on the first syllable. The 'g' sound is a voiced velar stop, followed by the 'l' which is a voiced alveolar lateral approximant. The 'u' sound is a lax vowel, and the double 'm' indicates the nasalization of the preceding vowel.
