Plough.  Rhymes with Bough.

Hey, you found the only one!  :zoinks:

Not the only one . Plough also rhymes with Slough   :green:
(as in London Borough of Slough.  It doesn't rhyme with borough though, not with either of those words cos that would be silly wouldn't it? )

I'm pretty sure more weird limey examples don't count.  :zoinks:

I beg to differ. I'm a weird limey, and I count.  Allow me to demonstrate: one, two (forget the "w" , just there for show. "buckle my shoe" is what it rhymes with, actually)   , three, four (does not rhyme with sour, but with door) , five, six , seven, eight (pronounced "ate", mate  ) nine, ten, a big fat hen ....etceteras   :green: shall i continue?   >:D

But those are real words, not weird limey words that only weird limeys use.  :zoinks:

There are about 170 irregular verbs in the English language.  "Plough" is one of them.  That's the way it is.  Live with it.

But you're the one arguing that one of the spellings is actually wrong.  :dunno: No one has even said anything about irregular verbs. I'm guessing ploughed would be the past tense form of the spelling, and if that true it wouldn't qualify as an irregular verb. Irregular verbs are words that don't use the usual ed ending in past tense, like go and went, come and came. I don't even know what you're trying to say anymore. Quit trying to make intellectual arguments about a valid spelling you just don't personally like.  :lol1:

Sorry Gary.  I truly am.  I thought I'd explained what I was trying to say.

What I meant to say was....


...It's "PLOUGH".  Not "PLOW".

PLOUGH

There's no reason to change it as the word has worked just fine for at least a thousand years.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Plow, plew, plown?

 :smarty:

Plough looks like hard work. So it should be plough, because it is hard work.

Ploegen still is better though.
