Fun With Phonics. . .

From a George Bernard Shaw joke I read a couple days ago - "ghoti" could be an alternate spelling of what common english word?

goatee? gaudy?

What's the joke?

Good job Job - cou(gh), w(o)men,
na(ti)on. I don't have the whole joke here at the library but it had to do with the often confounding and curious nature and make-up of the english language. I'll try and find it Tate.
