Hello, Guybrush88.
I've just corrected the original English from "TOGH" to "Ghoti". It's a reference to a famous joke spelling by Bernard Shaw. See, for example,
<it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti>

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #26312I can't find any logic to English spelling. “Ghoti” can be pronounced as “fish.”.

Non riesco a trovare alcuna logica all'ortografia inglese. T-O-G-H può essere pronunciato come fish.
