    I can’t think of another word where spelling it correctly isn’t enough. One must also convey the way they pronounce the word too. The people need to know.

        Yes, but you didn’t feel the need to add a note about how you pronounced it just now. And I don’t care if you know how to say it right. Doesn’t matter in text.
