Why do we sometimes hear 'worsening' as 'worsening'

I’ve noticed some transcriptionists spelling ‘worsening’ as ‘worsening,’ which isn’t just a typo — it’s a phonetic quirk. It gets me wondering how many people catch that. Anyone else spot these little nuances that can completely change interpretation?

That’s so true about nuances changing interpretation! I’ve caught myself tweaking phrases for clarity when transcribing — like ensuring ‘worsening’ isn’t confused with something else entirely… I find it helps to read back the transcription aloud; it can really highlight those tricky spots.
