It is an artificial word created by spelling sounds, rather than a real word with a meaning.<br><br>The example is: "ough" can be pronounced as different sounds depending on the word. For instance, "though" is pronounced with a "th" sound, "through" with a "ru" sound, and "cough" with a "aw" sound. A word that combines these sounds to illustrate this irregularity is "ghoti", which can be broken down as:<br><br> "gh" is silent, like in "tough"<br> "o" is pronounced like in "toe"<br> "ti" is pronounced like in "tea"<br><br>So, if you were to read "ghoti" out loud, it would be pronounced roughly like "tow-ee".
