You've found another secret page!!!  woohoo for you.

What exactly is stough?  It's kinda like "stuff" only with an alternate spelling and pronunciation.  

Originally, someone wondered what it would be like if "stuff" were spelled like "cough" since they're pronounced almost the same way.  So he changed it to "stough." And it was Good.  Then he figured that it could be pronounced with a long "o" sound, kinda like "bough" (pronounced like "bow"... kinda like a branch of a tree)

Back to the words.

Back home.
