How Do You Spell KICK OVER TRACE?

Pronunciation: [kˈɪk ˌə͡ʊvə tɹˈe͡ɪs] (IPA)

The common phrase "kick over trace" has an unusual spelling when compared to its pronunciation. The first word is spelled with the letters "k-i-c-k," while the actual pronunciation uses the phonemes /k/ and /ɪ/. Similarly, the second word uses "t-r-a-c-e" instead of the phonemes /tʃ/ and /oʊ/. This discrepancy can be attributed to the English language's irregular spelling system, which often does not follow consistent sound-symbol correspondence rules. Despite this, native speakers will typically use the correct pronunciation rather than relying on the written form.
