If GH can stand for P as in ‘hiccough’,
If OUGH can stand for O as in ‘dough’,
If PHTH can stand for T as in ‘phthisis’,
If EIGH can stand for A as in ‘neighbour’,
If TTE can stand for T as in ‘gazette’,
If EAU can stand for O as in ‘plateau’,
then the correct way to spell 'potato' would be:

Please wait here. I left my torch and my pitchfork at home and will be right back.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Why does do not sound like no?
Suffix a 'w' and it sounds like now,
Then prefix a 'k' and it returns to know,
Could the inventor please take a bow?

Similarly, the correct way to spell "fish" is GHOTI.

Similarly I once read that Fish could also be spelled as GHOTI.
GH sounds as F like in enough
O sounds like E as in women
TI sounds like sh as in nation.
No wonder how many of my neighbors find it difficult to read in English! sheesh!

I learnt two new words today, both medical (I'm not native)!
At first I though that "phthisis" is a misspeled "phthitties".

I love my land-lines.
If for no other reason than they don't follow me outside when I go someplace. Very respectful of my privacy in that way.

Strangely enough, my fondleslab rarely follows me outside either.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

People just aren't appreciative of all of the annoying things that do not happen to them. I suppose that makes us a world of ingrates.
Fondleslab . . . ? In days-gone-by, , didn't the same sort of people just use inflatable dolls?

AFAIK the term was coined here years ago (or at least I don't recall seeing it anywhere else).

I carry two smartphones (one personal, one for work) plus a watch that thinks it's a phone - Plus, until recently, I had a land-line. AT&T decided they wouldn't support land lines anymore in Baltimore - or at least that's what they eventually told me after I arranged to have one installed to replace my Verizon land-line that was being removed when I cancelled my Verizon account after getting fed up waiting for Fiber that never came! Verizon then also said they didn't support them and wouldn't put it back - even though it was working perfectly well until a few days before when they removed it.
