How do you pronounce Svea "123"?

I agree with Idahostoveguy mostly
I say one, two, three for 123
and double aught for my optimus 00
one eleven for 111 , fourty-five for optimus 45 etc.

and CaleeFornee for the state south of Oregon ( Ory-Gun)

 

@snwcmpr Wiki has a full explanation..

The 'gh' is from 'rough' etc.

 

Now lost.
Where is the 'gh' in fish?

 

Rough, pronounced 'ruf', the 'gh' replaces the 'f' in 'fish.

The fun then begins if you can work out what words the remaining bits relate to in the general English language.

I had a 'doh' moment when I found out the full explanation.

 

• gh, pronounced /f/ as in enough /ɪˈnʌf/ or tough /tʌf/;
• o, pronounced /ɪ/ as in women /ˈwɪmɪn/;
• ti, pronounced /ʃ/ as in nation /ˈneɪʃən/ or motion /ˈmoʊʃən/.

 

I was trying to resist that @cottage hill bill.

 

And ... when I asked this morning I had just woke up. Now I see it clearly.
My grandfather said there were so many exceptions to the rules in English.

 

@Simes Sorry, didn't mean to spoil the joke.
