I take it you already knew of tough and bough and
cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, on
hiccough, thorough, laugh 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 -- and 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
the 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 font and front and word and
sword, 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.
