The way he says, "NOOOOHHHHHH" kills me!

Though
Through
Cough
Bough
Enough

None of these words sound the same, despite each of them ending in ough. This is one of many reasons I never get mad at someone who is clearly speaking English as a second language.

English doesn't fuck around. If it wasn't my first language, I would refuse to learn it.

English is tough, though through thorough thought, it can be mastered.
