Ghoti is a creative respelling of the word ''fish'', used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling. ==Explanation== The word is intended to be pronounced in the same way (), using these sounds: * ''gh'', pronounced as in ''tough'' ; * ''o'', pronounced as in ''women'' ; and * ''ti'', pronounced as in ''nation'' . However, linguists have pointed out that the location of the letters in the constructed word is inconsistent with how those letters would be pronounced in those placements, and that the expected pronunciation in English would be "goaty".〔(【引用サイトリンク】Benjamin Zimmer "> url = http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/27/magazine/27FOB-onlanguage-t.html )〕 For instance, the letters "gh" cannot be pronounced at the beginning of a syllable, and the letters "ti" cannot be pronounced at the end of a syllable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghoti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
