How Do You Spell GASSAWAY?

Pronunciation: [ɡˈasəwˌe͡ɪ] (IPA)

The spelling of "Gassaway" is unique, and may cause confusion for those unfamiliar with the name. The word can be pronounced as /ˈɡæsəweɪ/ or "gas-uh-way." The "g" is followed by an "a," pronounced as the short "a" sound, and then two "s" sounds. It is important to note that the second "a" is pronounced as a schwa sound, which is somewhat weaker and less emphasized than other vowel sounds. The final syllable is pronounced with a long "a" sound and a "y."
