Spelsay is a special way to say English words to indicate correct spelling 
Therefore, all double letters and silent letters are pronounced,  and some letters and letter strings are said differently from normal.

(e.g.  soft  "c" (as in "since") normally is ~s, so it needs a special pronunciation to indicate "soft c" not "s".  It will sound funny but the spelling is decodable.
