British Spelling

An advertisement for the London Times recently caught my attention when it was posted on the tube. It asked the question:

If GH stands for P as in Hiccough

If OUGH stands for O as in Dough

If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis

If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour

If TTE stands for T as in Gazette

If EAU stands for O as in Plateau
then POTATO could be spelled:

GH-OUGH-PHTH-EIGH-TTE-EAU
