	Bob's right - it IS fish. GH from enouGH O from women TI from station So much for the great idea put forth for all children to learn to read by phonetics by Michael Gove (is that Gove as in move, rove, prove, dove or love) - even his own name doesn't conform to phonetic rules!!

	Ghoti is a constructed example word used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling. It is pronounced /f??/, just like fish: * gh, /f/ as in laugh, /læf, læ?f, la?f/; * o, /?/ as in women, /'w?m?n, 'w?m?n/; and * ti, /?/ as in nation, /'ne???n/. I couldn't get my head around that for ages...lolol

	Hi Maggie Take it as the men are acknowledging your punctuation, It`s not that they are ignoring you. :-D Btw... I would have put ... Tommy, often helps his elderly Uncle Jack, off his donkey. (What do I know anyway?) :-D

	I notice the two men ignored my correct punctuaton!! Here it is in full: Woman, without her, man is nothing. 'Uncle Jack' is: Tommy often helps his elderly Uncle, Jack, off his donkey. :-D
