[stylist] confusing similar words

[LoriStay at aol.com]

If Jaws pronounces s o u g h as Suff, Jaws is wrong.   What can I say?   
It's not so common a word.
The artificial intelligence behind Jaws is taking tough (t o u g h) as   
its model.

Consider:   taught, laugh, laughter, slaughter, though, thought
Similar spellings, different pronunciations.

Some more:
r i g h t and r i t e and w r i t e
m i g h t and m i t e
r a i s e and r a z e (which have opposite meanings)


As for No (n o) as the leader of a kingdom, I never heard of that one!
