How to Spell Dietician

Syllables: di - e - ti - cian

Tricky part: Diet keeps its e after di, so it is not deitician. The ending is cian, as in musician, not sion or shan.

Memory tip: Begin with diet, the very thing this expert plans, then add ician as in musician and magician: diet + ician.

Usage Examples

Example 1: The dietician told Papa to eat less salt and more vegetables.

Example 2: Our school dietician plans a balanced midday meal for every class.

Example 3: Sports teams often have a dietician who checks what the players eat.
