Neil Young dies, aged 82


Sad news today on NBC News. 'Astronaut' Neil Young has died.

Now I never knew Neil Young was an astronaut, but his songs have been a beacon for many generations. Who doesn't know "Rocking in the Free World", "Tonight's the Night" or the wonderful "Heart of Gold".

My Top 10 would be:
  1. Ohio
  2. Heart of Gold
  3. After the Gold Rush
  4. Tell Me Why
  5. Comes a Time
  6. Cinnamon Girl
  7. Old Man
  8. Down By The River
  9. Helplessly Hoping
  10. Tonight's the Night
Keep on Rockin', Neil, wherever NBC News tells us you are...

How to spell Fish as Ghoti?

Some languages like Turkish or Hungarian are "phonetic". This simply means that you can look at a word and know how to say it. English is not phonetic.

You cannot always look at an English word and know how to say it. You cannot always hear an English word and know how to spell it.

George Bernard Shaw was a famous Irish writer. He wanted to reform English spelling so that it was more logical. He asked the following question as an example:
How do we pronounce the word "ghoti"?
His answer was "fish".
How can "ghoti" and "fish" sound the same? He explained it like this:
  • the gh = f as in rouGH
  • the o = i as in wOmen
  • the ti = sh as in naTIon
