Default Re: The phonetic alphabet and the modern world.

G.B. Shaw was a great observer of the vagaries of pronunciation in the English language. One of his little anecdotes asked how one should pronounce the word "ghoti"?










The answer is "fish".











"gh" as in enough; "I" as in women and "ti" as in nation.

Probably Oscar Tango too much.
