This makes no sense...

"ghoti" can be pronounced "fish" in the English language... by mutilating the rules of pronunciation

 

[PaJami]

What doesn't make sence about it?

 

[cornymikey]

wow, i know this one. its not as hard as mine...

 

[PaJami]

Wow that was quick... Good job Tom.. By the way, an example for the o would be in women.

Don't worry, you will still get a prize.

 

[Tom.Nook]

ok!!! but still i did not look it up on wiki

 

[PaJami]

What I mean is the O is pronounced like an I

 

[cornymikey]

hmmmm, maybe i dont need the prize...


P.S. cornman, this is not such a good riddle because anybody could easily look it up on google. with my riddle, there is no way that anybody could find the answer on google unless they know it from their own knowledge...
