How Do You Spell GOODRUM?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈʊdɹəm] (IPA) 
"Goodrum" is a surname that is pronounced as /ɡʊdrʌm/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The spelling of this word demonstrates the complexity and irregularity of the English language's spelling system, where a combination of letters can represent more than one sound. The "oo" combination represents the phoneme /ʊ/, while the "dr" combination represents /dr/. Furthermore, the silent "e" at the end of the word does not affect the pronunciation but indicates the vowel in the previous syllable as being "short." Thus, "goodrum" is pronounced as "GOOD-rum."
