Harris chooses Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as VP pick
www.washingtonpost.com
Walz doesn’t hail from a traditional battleground state, but his credentials as a military veteran and gun owner who previously represented a Republican-leaning rural part of Minnesota in Congress could help Harris.

    My father (who had a PhD in English) used to tell me that “ghoti” was pronounced “fish”

    GH as in rouGH
    O as in wOmen
    TI as in raTIon

      How do you pronounce women? When I put those sounds together it makes more of a fush or fosh than fish .

      Or do you say fish different than me?

      That isn’t really consistent with English orthography.

      But you can write “pfysche”, and that would be consistent with English.
