The misleading English spelling

The unruly English spelling causes most pronunciation errors, others are due to different  articulation of the sounds.

To make you aware of the problem:

Write in the brackets the pronunciation of the following words:
TOUGH  (             ),  BOUGH  (           ), DOUGH (            ), SOUGH (           ),
SOUGHT (            ), TOUCH  (           )HICCOUGH  (         ),  THOROUGH  (         ), 
LOUGH  (              ), THROUGH) (            )

Tomorrow I will give you the answers. Don´t be dismayed if you made mistakes, most people would.

I undertook the taming of the unruly spelling in order to facilitate pronunciation.
