Spelling rules (Spalding)

I would like to add that some of our spelling rules involve syllables. Vowels can say their long sounds at the end of syllables (I, go, open, unable,...). Every syllable has a vowel. Certain rules apply to phonogram use in a certain syllable ie: double last consonant before adding suffix when accent is on last syllable of base word (for got' ten, oc cur' rence,... not: en' ter ing, prof' it a ble); and sh is used at beginning or end of base word, at end of syllable, but not at the beginning of a syllable after the first one except for the ending ship.
