I have heard somewhere that there is a wordplay with spelling the word "Fish" as "Ghote" (hence Inspector Ghote). I can easily remember the first two sounds: "Gh" sounds as "F" in "laugh", and "o" sounds as "i" in "women", but I cannot for my life remember what constitutes the spelling of "te" as sounding as "sh". Can somebody help me? --83.248.174.108 09:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC) (User Hannibal from Swedish Wikipedia)[reply]

It's ghoti and the ti comes from the -tion ending as in destination, nation, documentation, etc. [1]. No apparent relationship to Inspector Ghote. Nohat 17:32, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
