My favorite confusion of this sort came from an old "I Love Lucy"
show where Lucy is trying to teach Ricky better English.  She is
reading to him from a children's book, and runs across a number
of words that drive Ricky CRAZY!!!  Consider these (pronounce them):

bough
cough
dough
rough
through

No wonder furners who come to this country cain't tail Kansas
from Ar-kansas,
