TROUGH

trough -
Function: noun
Pronunciation:
\ˈtrof, ˈtroth, by bakers often ˈtrō\


This morning as we watched the first day of the Olympics an argument broke out between Dee and myself. It all had to do with how one simple word was pronounced. She is of the trof camp and I am of the troth camp.

It is days such as this that I wonder how I could have married a woman who pronounces trough with an F. Neither of us were wrong, seeing as it is pronounced both ways.

But in the end, in her eyes, I am wrong.

Quote of the Day
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny
