How Do You Spell POGONIASIS?
Pronunciation: [pəɡˈə͡ʊnɪˌasiz] (IPA) 
Pogoniasis is a rare bacterial infection affecting facial hair follicles. The spelling of this word can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription: /pəʊˌɡəʊˈnaɪəsɪs/. Firstly, the stress falls on the second syllable (/gəʊ/). Secondly, the first syllable contains the "open O" sound (/pəʊ/), which is similar to the "oh" sound in "boat". Finally, the third syllable contains the "shwa" sound (/ə/) and the "ai" sound (/aɪ/), which is like the "I" in "bite". Despite its rare occurrence, it is important to spell "pogoniasis" correctly when referring to this specific medical condition.
