Phonology The Study of Sound

English Spelling I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through? Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird, And dead: it’s said like bed, not bead— For goodness sake don’t call it deed! Watch out for meat and great and threat.. (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt) A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth in brother, And here is not a match for there Nor dear and fear for bear and pear And then there’s dose and rose and lose— Just look them up—and goose and choose, And cork and work and card and ward, And do and go and thwart and cart— Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start! A dreadful language? Man alive! I’d mastered it when I was five! Aspects of Language, 1981

Each frays come posed up on my screen Eye trussed too bee a joule. The checker pours o’er every word To cherub sum spelling rule. Bee fore a veiling checker’s Hour spelling mite decline, And if we’re lacks oar have a laps, We wood bee maid too wine.
