Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically Iâm probably still doing it with some word.
GH is pronounced F like in âenoughâ.
O is pronounced E like on âwomenâ.
TI is pronounced SH like in âactionâ.
Therefore, ghoti is pronounced fish.
You CAN pronounce it fish, but you can also just simply not pronounce it.
GH is pronounced _ like in high.
O is pronounced _ like in jeopardy.
T is pronounced _ like in potpourri.
I is pronounced _ like in receive.
Therefore, ghoti is completely silent.
T is pronounced _ like in potpourri.
Kind of a cop-out, since thatâs a straight-up French loanword. âSoftenâ would be better. Or âoften,â if not for the fact that itâs so commonly mispronounced.
