"Goff" is just silly. It doesn't make sense according to any rules of pronunciation. Tom Send a noteboard - 05/06/2010 02:02:47 AM
"Go" makes sense from the standpoint of just not pronouncing a final -gh.

"GoX" makes sense from a "let's get the end right" standpoint.

"XoX" makes sense from a "I know Dutch" standpoint.

"GjoX" makes sense from a "I know he spoke with a Brabant accent and I'm going to say it how he said" standpoint.

"Goff" just doesn't meet any of those criteria.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

It should probably be ki:-SHO:-te: - 05/06/2010 05:29:49 PM 249 Views
Maybe, probably not - 05/06/2010 05:55:30 PM 242 Views
No, certainly so. Carochi's Grammar of Nahuatl from 1645 conclusively disproves your wikipedia. - 06/06/2010 04:32:52 AM 252 Views
Quite possibly. - 06/06/2010 09:45:20 AM 237 Views
See...there was a logical flaw in your use of wikipedia. - 06/06/2010 02:21:44 PM 213 Views
I think the British version sounds like they are not trying at all. - 05/06/2010 10:21:19 PM 235 Views
