GHOTI Ghoti spells 'FISH' in English. This joke/example illustrates the irregularities and utter chaos when it comes to spelling words in English. There are many examples, but GHOTI is the most famous one. Wiki says: The word is intended to be pronounced in the same way (/fɪʃ/), using these sounds: gh, pronounced /f/ as in enough /ɪˈnʌf/ or tough /tʌf/; o, pronounced /ɪ/ as in women /ˈwɪmɪn/; ti, pronounced /ʃ/ as in nation /ˈneɪʃən/ or motion /ˈmoʊʃən/. And there you have it. Ghoti spells fish. #RandomThoughts
