Why is “Spld” is pronounced as /sld/?
If you want to get people to say /spld/, the simplest option is to use “ah. ” By default, most English speakers pronounce this as //.. Why is the name ” Dahl ” considered /dl/. In fact, though in the Collins dictionary it was still in use, it is still in use. Also, a more modern version of Spahlding. Although English spelling is often unwritten but can still be found confusingly with the word “ah” one might be mistaken for the letter “H”, as many English spellings are irregular. It is possible that a word spelled with “ha” was pronounced in other ways, such as “makhlstick,” which as Collins indicates may be pronounced /mlstk/.) Most
British English speakers don’t pronounce “r” when it’s at the end of a syllables. When I have a non rhotic voice one of the most common way of spelling // is as “ar. British English would normally characterize “Sparlding” as “Spld”.

Asked on June 6, 2021 in Grammar.
It appears that the sentence as written was over-negated. What to do? Conjactian: You don’t want to use not (neither) and not (neither) together. But you should! “Need
not to be,” is also grammatically incorrect.
Do you think you need to be”? Remark about what the uncontracted “equivalent of that would be “do not need to be” If you are using auxiliary “do” you need to use the auxiliary “do” because it is negative.
When you don’t include “do” you can use a separate construction, “need not be,” where “need” functions a bit like an auxiliary. I believe in the right definition the use between “to” and
“to” should not be after “to” before the infinitive. You can only use the end in a more general sense.

A Dictionary
of the English Language, By Samuel Johnson and John Walker; accessed via Google Books — Merriam-Webster : to swallow in large quantities
Why are most people familiar with “regurgitate,” which is another word for “hurling,” but far fewer know its unofficial antonym ingurgitate. If a word gets used everyday, but neither in a spelling bee nor a conversation, it’s a sentence. It’s quite a word and can be seen in a dictionary. “Regurgitate” and “ingurgitate” (as well as “gurgitate,” an even rarer synonym of “ingurgitate,” and gorge, meaning ” to eat greedily”) can be ultimately traced back to the Latin word for “whirlpool,” which is “gurges. “TheWorld is giving up on us “
