How Do You Spell WAST COURTEOUS?
Pronunciation: [wɒst kˈɜːti͡əs] (IPA) 
The word "wast courteous" may seem like an odd spelling, but it is actually the archaic form of "were courteous" in Middle English. The pronunciation of this phrase can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /wɔst kʊrtiəs/. The "w" at the beginning is pronounced as the consonant sound /w/, while "ast" is pronounced as /əst/, similar to the modern English word "are". "Courteous" is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable and the vowel sound /ʊr/. This spelling serves as a reminder of the evolution of the English language over time.
