I couldn't resist throwing this one in. How is anyone meant to know that:

Tough - strong, resilient / Bough - any main branch of a tree
But, 'tough' is pronounced "tuff" and 'bough' - "bow"!!!

Mike, were you aware that there are actually at least five separate pronunciations of 'ough'?

bough, slough (of despond)
tough, rough
trough, cough
through
thought, bought
