How do you pronounce "ghoti"?
Answer: fish
Explanation: The playwright George Bernard Shaw
(an advocate of spelling reform) supposedly said
the word "fish" could be spelled "ghoti" because:
gh is pronounced like an f in "cough"
o is pronounced like an I in "women"
ti is pronounced like the sh in "nation"
