461.0. "Double diphthongs" by GLIVET::RECKARD (Jon Reckard 264-7710) Tue Dec 22 1987 19:59
Pity the poor English language student. There's a note somewhere in here
that discusses 'ough' and its various pronunciations (bough, bought, through,
rough, etc.). (<-- Oh oh! punctuation before AND after a parenthesis?).
(And again!). (Help! I'm stuck!). (Another note discusses this, right?).;-[:!
... anyway ...
Here are a couple words that have two occurrences of the same diphthong,
or letter-sequence, each pronounced differently. (I know, the "gh"s complicate
matters a bit.)
throughout
rough-out (a leather product with the non-tanned side out)
Any more?
