Gone ghoti-ing (gone fishing?)

Random entertainment for the day…

Haha… I read an article this morning about a teacher who thinks it would be a better idea to accept “common misspellings” as correct, than to actually teach his students proper English.

At the end of the article a playwright (George Bernard Shaw) made the following comment:

“ghoti” could just as well be pronounced “fish” if you followed common pronunciation: ‘gh’ as in “tough,” ‘o’ as in “women” and ‘ti’ as in “nation.”
