ugh I was told this joke in highschool at it always bugged me. Because all of those sounds are pronounced differently depending on the letters around them. ghosti could never be pronounced like fish according to the (messy) rules of english. Yes yes I know it's just a silly joke, but somehow it really gets to me.

I took Phonetics last year as part of my Linguistics degree. I laughed at this. My teacher played the same trick on us last year.

maybe you should add "it's a joke" and some insults to the OP and save everyone some time

The douchebag who made the graphic could have at least mentioned that it was George Bernard Shaw's idea. Shaw fought long and hard (and in vain) to reform English spelling.

credit where credit is due, that's all... How hard would it have been to attribute the quote?

I read your comment fast and I thought you were calling me a douchebag (reason for the harshwords) and I guess he should have given credit.

No problem, and thanks for having the integrity to clear that up.

It's apparent that someone wasn't paying attention in school. I'll bet you use words like 'irregardless' a lot.

It was a joke. Your life must be really sad if you feel the need to call someone an asshole because of a reply to a post on reddit.

Oh, the irony.

This is so unfunny it just annoys me more than anything else. It's not clever at all. Just stupid.
