'Borrow' English words at your peril

Re: "Pronunciation of 'computer' an error", Letters, October 4.

Sutipunt Bongsununt says in his letter, "Teaching students the Thai pronunciations and the English pronunciations is more appropriate".

Try this for starters:

I don't have enough dough left, having bought one for my daughter.

Although I cough I'm not fraught and distraught.

I ought not to have thought such naughty thoughts.

The tough task set was all for naught, I just got a doughnut.

It was rough enough throughout the thought process.

The borough I live in is rough with slough.

I was taught to be haughty not naughty.

Okay, but it's not that easy!
