How Do You Spell ORATORIOUS?

Pronunciation: [ˌɒɹətˈɔːɹɪəs] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Oratorious" is not correct. The correct spelling is "oratorical". The word means relating to the art or practice of public speaking. Its IPA phonetic transcription is /ˌɔːrəˈtɔːrɪkəl/. The first syllable is pronounced with the same sound as the word "or" and the second syllable ends with the sound of "uh". The emphasis is on the third syllable, which is pronounced with a long "o" sound, like in the word "bore".
