I came across something amusing in an old notebook last night while I was looking for something to scribble in. Here's a fun word: GHOTI. Go ahead and see if you can pronounce it correctly. Doesn't look hard, does it? Now go to your local pub and ask for ghoti and chips and see if your waiter/bartender gives you a bizarre look. If you've got that same look on your face right now, let me explain: Pronounce the GH like it sounds in cough. Pronounce the O like it sounds in women. And finally, pronounce the TI like it sounds in motion. I don't know about you, but I could really go for some ghoti and chips. Silly English language...
