How Do You Spell CAN?
The word "can" is spelled with a single letter "a" despite having two distinct vowel sounds. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is represented as /kæn/. The "a" in "can" is pronounced as a short "æ" sound, which is made by opening the mouth slightly and bringing the tongue forward towards the front teeth. This sound is also found in words like "cat" and "hat". The spelling of "can" may seem unusual, but it is consistent with the way English has evolved over time.
