Был в начале 80-х годов такой синтезатор речи, назывался Echo. Так вот, прикола ради разработчики заложили в него правило, по которому слово Ghoti читалось как Fish))))) Дальше примерно цитирую:
The English language is so illogical that you could make a reasonable argument that Ghoti spells Fish! Because Gh is read like [f] as in Rough; O as it would appear in Women, and Ti gives you the [sh] sound as in Nation :-)))).
