ghoughphtheightteeau

(1878) D. L. Scott-Browne a écrit :
:: If a person were suddenly asked what “Ghoughphtheightteeau” spelled, the chances are that in the flurry of the moment he would say he didn’t know; yet Prof. Knowlton, of San Francisco, says it spells “potato.” He spells the word according to the following rule: “Gh stands for p, as you’ll find from the last letters in hiccough. Ough stands for o, as in dough. Fhth stands for t, as in phthisic. Eigh stands for a, as in neighbor. Tte stands for t, as in gazette, and eau stands for o, as in beau. […]” — (D. L. Scott-Browne, Browne’s Phonographic Monthly, vol. 3, 1878, page 139)

Orthographe construite par approximation à partir des prononciations particulières des groupes de lettres en anglais :
:* ‹ gh › dans hiccough \ˈhɪk.ʌp\ ;
:* ‹ ough › dans dough \ˈdoʊ\ ;
:* ‹ phth › dans phthisic \ˈtɪz.ɪk\ ;
:* ‹ eigh › dans neighbor \ˈneɪ.bɚ\ ;
:* ‹ tte › dans gazette \ɡə.ˈzɛt\ ;
:* et ‹ eau › dans beau \ˈboʊ\

pour \poʊ.ˈteɪ.toʊ\. (Il est à noter que la première syllabe se prononce plus légèrement aujourd’hui : \pə.ˈteɪ.toʊ\.)

Très probablement inspiré par l’orthographe fantaisiste ghoti \ˈfɪʃ\ créée par George Bernard Shaw en 1855.

Orthographe fantaisiste de potato (« pomme de terre »), destinée à illustrer la complexité de l’orthographe et de la prononciation en anglais.

By the way, I should like to ask if Dr. Miller, Mr. A. I. Root, Mr. York, or any of the other brethren, have ever eaten any ghoughphtheightteeaux.

However, stablecoins are particularly vulnerable to reserve outflows and therefore exposed to the risk of digital runs in the event that doubts about the backing of a coin issuance surface.

ACC

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an in-vehicle convenience feature designed to maintain a set speed and, when applicable, adjust the set speed to maintain a specified distance from a lead vehicle. When following another vehicle, the ACC system will automatically slow down or speed up in responses to changes in the lead vehicle’s speed. Adaptive Cruise Control systems are still relatively new technologies and are not widely available within the U.S. passenger vehicle fleet. One in eight Americans is 65 or older, and this proportion will continue to grow as the American population ages. It is possible that new technologies such as ACC can assist older drivers to drive more safely with less stress, thus extending their safe driving years. It is also possible that ACC may cause unintended consequences such as over-reliance on the technology

Traffic Safety Facts Vehicle Safety Research Notes; Use of Advanced In-Vehicle Technology by Young and Older Early Adopters: Survey; Results on Adaptive Cruise Control Systems, NHTSA, décembre 2008

The goal of this study was to improve the understanding of the relationship between experience with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and driving performance. The three study objectives were: (1) Determine whether drivers who are experienced with ACC respond appropriately to the feedback provided by a familiar ACC system under crash-likely scenarios; (2) Determine if there are usage and error patterns that emerge across a sample of drivers who currently use ACC; (3) Identify countermeasures if drivers make safety-critical errors or engage in problematic usage patterns when driving with familiar ACC systems.

Evaluation of Adaptive Cruise Control Interface Requirements on the National Advanced Driving Simulator, NHTSA, aout 2015

One of the latest technologies arriving in the world of two wheels is ACC, for Adaptive Cruise Control, or Adaptive Cruise Control. This system has already been present in automobiles for several years, and so far, only two manufacturers have presented motorcycles equipped with radars: Ducati and BMW.
