I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, lough, 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 -
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 a 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!
~from the Manchester Guardian, 1954
Proof that English is as fickle as they say it is.
And for anyone unfamiliar with old-fashioned British phonetics, hiccough is pronounced like hiccup and lough is "lak." Thank you Merriam Webster.

i speak french in public to my grandparents and to my boyfriend. people are surprised that im bilingual and say its cool and ask me to teach them some time
but when one of my classmates speaks arabic in public to her family, she gets strange and disgusted looks. no one asks to be taught arabic. no one says its cool that shes bilingual
its racism plain and simple
this religious guy thought i was being disrespectful when i said “da jesus book” but you dont understand
Okay so everyone knows the ghostly wail. But what if Danny got so much control of it, that he could tone it down enough where it wouldn’t hurt anything, and he could sense the sound waves that come back from it? Imagine, Danny using echo location using a toned down version of the ghostly wail! Using it to find small ectoentities that his ghost sense wouldn’t tell him where they are. Him being able to tell Tucker and Sam’s bodies response apart, being able to find them easily if they ever got kidnapped Just. Danny using ecolocation
