  Glad I’ve got a spellchecker

  Hi all,

  Just been losing time on – http://www.gadzillionthings.net

  and need a drink after this one;

  If ‘GH’ stands for ‘P’ as in ‘Hiccough’ and if ‘OUGH’ stands for ‘O’ as in ‘Dough’ and if ‘PHTH’ stands for ‘T’ as in ‘Phthisis’ and if ‘EIGH’ stands for ‘A’ as in ‘Neighbour’ and if ‘TTE’ stands for ‘T’ as in ‘Gazette’ and if ‘EAU’ stands for ‘O’ as in ‘Plateau’ then wouldn’t the right way to spell ‘POTATO’ be ‘GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU’?

  What a great language we have 😮
