It is claimed that -OUGH can be pronounced 9 different ways in the following sentence:
A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed, houghed, and hiccoughed.
And as he walked through the streets of Scarborough, he heard the sough of the wind in the boughs and thought of the old cloughs of Slough, where the drought in the lough stopped the plough.
Rough stough! Enough! Giggle...
I've been trying to speak english for 3 score years. The Queen's English ?
Nah. My english speech is home grown and littered with cockney/london slang. When writing though, i subscribe, when i can remember them, to the rules of the language. capitals though aren't my forte.
English has been moulded thoughout the world to suit the local population. It maybe the primary language or the secondary. Your sidewalk is my pavement, and my sheep might be your jumbuck.
