So I've been pronouncing "trough" incorrectly for a long time, apparently.
I just naturally thought it was pronounced "trow" and not the correct "troff".
It's understandable. The "ough" has a similar sound in "dough" and "furlough" and "though".
I can't think of any other words that end in "ough" and have that 'off sound. Does anyone have other examples, or could explain the different etymologies of the two different pronounciations of the "ough" sound?
