Near the end of the article are six examples of the different pronunciations of "ough":
- “though” (like “snow”)
- “rough” (like “tough”)
- “through” (like “true”)
- “thought” (like “saw”)
- “bough” (like “cow”)
- “cough” (like “off”)
In the second example, you use a different "ough" word to define the sound of the example "ough" word. This could be a little clearer if the defining word given ended in "-uff," for example:
- “rough” (like “bluff”)
Great article by the way! I hope this is helpful and not too nitpicky. 😄
