George Bernard Shaw is spinning his superannuated vegetarian bones in his grave. He'd advise us to take the "gh" from "rough," the "o" from "women," and the "ti" from "nation" to spell "fish."

What is it about that final 'i' you don't understand?
You'll be telling me 'through' doesn't have an 'ough' in it next ...
Listen, if Webster was so clever why the heck didn't he go the whole hog and spell 'rough' as 'ruff' or 'bough' as 'bow'?
