Phonetic spelling is the practice of writing words as they sound, regardless of the standard spelling. This can be useful in situations like:
* Teaching literacy: Helping children learn to sound out words.
* Recording dialects: Capturing regional pronunciation variations.
* Transcription: Recording spoken language for analysis or translation.
Example:
* The standard spelling of "good" is "good".
* A phonetic spelling of "good" could be "gud" or "goood", depending on the speaker's accent.
