Best Answer

Spelling is the formation of written words from their constituent alphabet forms. This includes letters as well as diacritics (accent, breve, umlaut) and punctuation marks (apostrophe, hyphen, tilde). Spelling provides a standard translation of spoken words into printed form, but in many cases will vary from fixed phonetic sounds for letters, letter pairs (digraphs) and letter groups. Words adopted from a different language may or may not have their spelling altered to reflect their pronunciation.
