This has been kicking around since the middle
of the 19th century. David Crystal calls it "complete naughtiness"
because �the spelling ti is
NEVER used with this sound at the end of a word in English, and the
spelling gh is NEVER used with this sound at the beginning of
a word...All good fun, but hugely misleading as a summary of the English spelling system." (from Spell It Out)
