“There is no such word as “heighth”. The word is “height” and ends with a “t” sound, not a “th” sound!”

My old man used to pronouce the word “draught” with a “th” at the end, but I’ve heard others say that as well growing up - perhaps it was a regional thing?

opps- should be drought (dry weather). And their IS an alternate pronouciation for it (”th” or a “t” is at the end).

So why can we have a summer with a “drouth”, but we can’t have a “drouth” beer during a “drouth”?
