Incidentally, since my last post with the alternative spelling for fish as "phot" I have learned that the playwright George Bernard Shaw invented the non-word "ghoti" to show how silly the english language is . The "gh" sound from "rough", the "o" sound from "women", and the "ti" sound from "motion" and you end up with "fish".
Amazing. Truly amazing!
