/ow/ Sound

     Today's class is going on /ow/, a very common sound in English. Words with the /ow/ sound spelled either /ou/ or /ow/. The point is that ow is not unique in any way. There are lots of letter combinations in English that are not always pronounced the same. Even a simple o can be pronounced in a number of different ways, not to mention ough. There are quite a few forces at work here, but the big picture is probably this: pronunciation changes all the time, and so does spelling, but for entirely different reasons, to varying degrees, and not simultaneously. And this isn't something unique to English, either.
