Crazy English (again)

Hi,
Read these words:
-tough
-though
-plough
-thorough
-through
-cough
-hiccough.
First, look up the meanings. Second,  try to pronounce them. I'll give you a clue: none are pronounced the same!!! Third, try to write a sentence using as many of them as you can.

Here's an extra fun fact: George Bernard Shaw used to mention that "ghoti" can be pronounced "fish". The "gh" from "tough" (f), the "o" from "women" (like the Spanish i), and the "ti" from "nation" (sh).
