Ghoti
Ghoti is an “alternative” spelling of the word “fish”, making an extreme example out of the idiosyncrasies of the English language.
Breakdown
- “gh”: pronounced like an “f”, as in “enough”
- “o: pronounced like an”i“, as in”women" (sounds like “wimin”)
- “ti”: pronounced like “sh”, as in “motion”
Of course, together in a word these components change and would depend on each other in different ways. But taken independently as mentioned, the word “ghoti” would sound like “fish”.
