Just Add O-U-G-H

Pronunciation seems to be everything with our language.


English is a difficult language to learn
Ask anyone who has tried to earn
                       citizenship.
Add B to the above and pronounce "bough,"
not like "beau" but like "how."
Change B to D and say "dough"
just like "beau."
Make it a T for "tough"
as in "enough."
Use TR and pronounce like "trough," not true .
Is it any wonder why some say, "I'm through"?
Wouldn't you?

LOL, this is charming, George! I've often wondered why our society didn't opt for the phoenetic pronounciation of words!
Love,
