      This is the problem with schools today. Okay ... take his premise that 'gh' is the same as 'f' because that is what sound we get in the word enough. But the rule is that 'gh' alone does not make an 'f' sound but it does when part of the 'ough'blend. Our language is not based on letters alone but also on specific blends. Here is a more widely known one, even today: "i before e except after c or when sounding like 'ei' as in neighbor or weigh." 'Ti' is not a blend that makes the 'sh' sound, but specifically it is the blend "tion" which sounds like "shun." He is not using the appropriate rules for blends. 😒
      He is trying to be clever, but really he shows his ignorance of proper phonics.
      Growing up in the 80s, we had something like 13 charts on all the appropriate blends that we were taught in 1st grade (or maybe that was just for private schools .... not sure).
      Examples:
      St in stop
      Fr in frog
      Ar in star
      Ch in church
      Oi in point
      Wr in wrong
      Ing in painting
      Ould in could
      Etc
      "T" alone doesnt make the "ch" sound ... the blend is "ture" as in pasture or picture.
      There are oddities that seem random but still, you can't substitute the blends randomly.
      Example:
      Ear in bear
      Ear in ear (or weary)
      Ear in earth
      But you can't spell air as ear just bc of the word bear. There are rules.

In English meanwhile, there is none of that, they just borrowed words without taking into account the spelling logics English had. Probably related to the fact that English never had an official spelling/institution in charge of standardising the English language. Sometimes in English an entire set of letters are skipped in the middle of the word for no explanations. There are also words borrowed from French that originally had no silent letters in it that English added for some reasons.

      We can use clocks to perceive time, see time pass us by via days/weeks/months/years but not centuries and longer.
      4th Dimensional entities can see *and* control time itself. They can easily move themselves from the beginning of the starting line to the finish line in what we would see as less than a second while we are still running along the track, like we would if we had the technology to break into lower dimensions.

      Like 15 years ago my cat typed a legit sentence while I was playing world of warcraft. She typed it in the guild chat, and everyone was really confused. Almost no one believed it was my cat. It was just a simple sentence like "this is it" or something similar to that. Still blew my mind though lol.
