Topic: Ghoti


In the News (Sat 11 Oct 08)

  
  Ghoti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghoti is an imaginary word used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling.
Although ghoti is often cited in the cause of English spelling reform, this ignores the importance of etymology and the way words usually enter the English language.
Another interpretation of the pronunciation of ghoti which has been put forward is "..." (that is, no sound; silence): "gh" as in night; "o" as in people; "t" as in ballet; "i" as in business.

 AUE: FAQ excerpt: What is "ghoti"?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
"Ghoti" is popularly attributed to George Bernard Shaw.
But when an enthusiastic convert suggested that 'ghoti' would be a reasonable way to spell 'fish' under the old system [...], the subject seemed about to be engulfed in the ridicule from which Shaw was determined to save it." We have not been able to trace the name of the "enthusiastic convert".
In the same vein is "ghoughpteighbteau": P hiccough O though T ptomaine A neigh T debt O bureau Supposedly, this is an example of how awful English spelling is, and why it ought to be reformed.

 JH Punk 'N' Ska: Ghoti Hook the rock band R.I.P. Ghoti Hook the punk band
Ghoti Hook's third full-length album, released this summer, is entitled 'Two Years to Never' and is completely rock.
Ghoti Hook was a five-man punk band which, amazingly, only went through a couple changes in it's lineup, that of the loss of their old guitarist Conrad, the addition of his coisin, Joel and the addition of another guitarist.
Ghoti Hook's third release, 'Songs We Didn't Write', is a cover album of the band's cool takes on some of their favorite songs.

 Ghoti Hook Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
Ghoti Hook fans in the area had been looking forward to this night for a month or so after it was announced that this would be guitarist and writer Conrad's last show with the band.
We can be thankful for the opportunity that Ghoti Hook and Conrad have been given, to do what they love to do and have a blast doing it, but more importantly for the way that God has chosen to use a bunch of wackos like Ghoti Hook.
Ghoti Hook fans came from as far as Illinois to see Conrad's last show with the band, and now came the time for the band to publicly say thank-you to Conrad, and for Conrad to express his thoughts at this crossroads in his life.

 Ghoti Hook's Two Years To Never
Ghoti Hook really impressed me when they released their first album, and even had some highlights on their second disc.
This album has taken a more serious tone than the previous albums, which is fine, but it seems Ghoti Hook's forte is making people laugh.
I support them, and I am a big fan of their older stuff, but there is a lack of anything special on this CD.

Ghoti Hook just released their latest release, Two Years To Never, which is their fourth Tooth and Nail release and the follow-up of the cover-CD Songs We Didn't Write.
Some bands that everyone in Ghoti Hook is happy when their CD's are popped into the car stereo include the Pixies, the Dead Milkmen, AC/DC, Weezer, and the Supersuckers.
I think the Ghoti Hook song on there is really good and so is the Alexia song, but most of the other ones are really bad.

Ghoti Hook really took a huge step when they made this CD, and took a big chance on top of it (as you can see from some of the negative reviews on this site).
All the instrumentation is of a much higher caliber than Ghoti Hook has ever done before, and the songwriting and song structure is incredible.
I must admit that ghoti hook is a great band, but this cd just doesn't cut it.

But if anyone doubted the spiritual nature of the performers, the frequent breaks in the action for ministry and prayer clearly marked this as a Christian event, albeit a sweaty one.
The Phantom Tollbooth took two breaks in the action to interview lesser-known acts that were appearing, Ghoti Hook and the Insyderz.

 Ghoti Hook MP3 Downloads - Ghoti Hook Music Downloads - Ghoti Hook Music Videos
Despite its somewhat forced humor and their lack of fresh ideas, Ghoti Hook makes their second album Banana Man sound energetic.
Ghoti Hook plays the kind of hook-heavy pop-punk that brought Green Day into the Top 100 -- the only difference is, Ghoti Hook doesn't always write memorable hooks.
Nevertheless, that isn't a deadly flaw, since the group has a tight, kientic sound that makes up for their lack of originality or strong songs, which in turn makes Banana Man a sporadically enjoyable record.

 Amazon.com: Sumo Surprise: Music: Ghoti Hook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Ghoti Hook was one heck of a band.
The most surprising thing about Sumo Surprise is that it was Ghoti Hook's first album.
MxPx, apparently considered by some to be a superior band, were still floundering with their first two releases, and even with Life In General still did not reach the level of musicianship that Ghoti Hook nailed their first shot.

 GHOTI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
So you see, ti alone doesn't have an "sh" sound it is the combination of t, i, and another vowel (usually o) that has an sh sound and it must be followed by at least one more letter.
People don't think of "fish" when they see "ghoti" because "gh" and "ti" are never used that way!
In short, even in the world of irregular English spelling, you cannot spell fish "ghoti" any more than you can spell it "OLJHGOIUZXX".

 Ghoti Hook: Two Years to Never   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The interestingly titled new release from Ghoti Hook does just that-hooks you in with their jagged edged layers, hyped up choruses and listener friendly versesÂ…
Drawn from the anxious resources of leftover love, the first two songs deliver a high impact of furious proportions-"One Step Away," "Two Years to NeverÂ…" or are we talking about two years until expectations are inevitably unmet or more like two years invested in self-inflicted sorrow and wasted time?
There's a lot of Suicide Machines going on here-that's new and old, for anyone who now knows the difference, though Ghoti Hook packs just a little more punch at their current pace.
