How Do You Spell TENSINGS?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛnsɪŋz] (IPA) 
The word "tensings" is spelled with a hard "g" sound at the end, even though it may seem more logical to spell it with a "j" sound. This is because the "g" is pronounced as /ɡ/, a voiced velar stop, whereas the "j" sound is /dʒ/, a voiced palatal affricate. The spelling "tensinges" would better reflect the pronunciation, but the traditional spelling has persisted. "Tensing" refers to the act of tensing, while "tensings" is the plural form.
