you would only pronounce the gh as an f after ou. the o in women only changes to i because of the e. the ti needs the on to be sh.

bunk example

you should have told that teacher to go ghuch himself

I like that story - so stop raining on my parade.

Besides, the point is that in English as in many other languages, things don't always sound the way they look at first glance.

Consider the difference in pronounciation between the following pairs of words:

heard -- beard
road -- broad
five -- give
fillet -- skillet

How do you know that those pairs are pronounced differently? You just have to know.

Given that the word 'sidhe' isn't even English, why would you expect to be able to pronounce it as though it were?

dar,

your mastery of the english language is eclipsed only by your deductive acumen.

I have now seen the error of my ways and would like to stop talking about this now.

yours truly,

((edit))Oh hang on yes they are over there. You guys have the French pronunciation. In British English that pair are pronounced alike)

leave that teacher alone, he was only quoting that great Irishman George Bernard Shaw who was the originator of the ghoti idea. He was into language reform and even sponsered a competition for a new alphabet

The noun is not. The verb is.

Those who cannot teach gym, become guidance counsellors. Those who cannot counsel, become principals.
