Did anyone else know that there are 9 different ways that the letters "ough" can be pronounced at the end of words in the English language?

That's got to be enough for anyone.

A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed

Is that enough?

P.S. Yes, sorry about "thought" - as you spotted Phil it's not at the end of the word.
