One of my many beefs with the english language (post-vowel shift obviously) is that fact that words like slaughter and laughter don't rhyme, enough and though come to mind as well.

Ghoti.

^^It doesn't bother me. That stuff is fun to think about on long car trips when fantasizing about other motorists gets boring.

Ghoti still entertains me about once a year.

Spelling has little to do with that, though. "Slaughter" (ON) and "laughter" (OE) are etymologically different, hence the different pronunciations.

Same thing with "though" (ON) and "enough" (OE).

Damn this bastardized germanic/romantic language.

it is a rather bizarre little mix

And that gaelic shit too if we're getting specific.

there's probably at least one word from everywhere else by now

I mean "ketchup" and "pajamas" are Malay and Persian

Nah. We're white. Them is our words now.
