I was teaching English as a second language, and “ough” could reduce my students to tears. Tough, cough, plough, through, dough! One student was reading to me: “He guzz to town.” In her mind, if does was “duzz” then goes must be “guzz.”

Strangely enough, I just recently found something useful on my Comcast DVR remote. Something many stations now are doing when broadcasting non-HD content is they stretch the picture to fit an HD resolution, distorting the image. I discovered that pressing the leftmost “Picture-in-Picture” button at the bottom of the remote once to get an onscreen prompt, then pressing it once more for a proper resolution screen(720×480i) with a thin black line down the middle, or twice for a proper res with a very slightly distorted clear horizontal line going across the screen.
