Of course we all know all the different sounds of 'ough' and that 'fish' can be spelled 'ghoti' - enuf! But what about this: With reckless inconsistency we write sweat and sweet, and then write whet and wheat, just the contrary."
Much of what Shaw explored is less relevant now that we have computers, word-processors and text-speak both, and that English has become pretty much the universal second language. But if you're a fan of GBS (My Fair Lady) or of language reform, this is an interesting enough read. I'll say 2.5 stars - don't hunt it down. ;)" ( )
