Hey guys & girls,

The more I have, the better! So please, bring in those coooool words!

I quite like 'nodule'. Also 'gusto'.
There are loads of words I like, but not many are springing to mind...
ummm .... hullabaloo
skullduggery
chuckle
knackered

The coolest word for students would be GHOTI
Ask them to pronounce it - afterwards tell them it's pronounced like FISH
They'll look at you funny - how can 'ghoti' be like 'fish'?
Explain :
"GH" sound from "enouGH" = F
"O" sound from "wOmen" = I
"TI" sound from "acTIon" = SH
FISH - they'll love it.
...it wall also demenstrate the craziness of 'spelling'
