Another thread reminded me of a couple of my favorite absurdities about the English language that almost beg for regional dialects to aid in communication -

food/good - both start and end with consonants, have like vowels in the middle

rough/dough/cough - three that follow the example above.

No wonder ESL scares so many people!
