Can I just ask you to please stop peddling the idiotic poop that "Ghoti" can be pronounced "Fish" in English? when "GH" is at the start of a word it NEVER has the "F" sound, it is only ever pronounced as it is in "Ghost". Look it up in English dictionaries. Furthermore it is sometimes silent when in the middle of words. "TI" NEVER has the "SH" at the end of a word - it can't do, it is never at the end of a word. "TI" only ever has the "SH" sound when the next letter is a vowel. "O" only sometimes has an "I" sound eg. "Women", sometimes has the "O" sound eg. "Woman". I know I shouldn't be fussing like this, but you are acting as a teacher and should know this stuff. I also get a bit niggled by people who never complain about the spelling of Irish Gealic or Scottish Gealic (I believe the latter is pronounced "Gallic" by those who speak it).
