conuly1. If you're going to ask people to sound out a word, pick a word that's difficult to sound out, that is, one that has at least one "rulebreaker" letter, a letter or phonogram that does not do what's expected. If the word you picked is not difficult to sound out then you really ought to accept that you need to learn more about this subject before you can venture an opinion on it.
Words I've seen that are not difficult to sound out: Me, we, red, eat, same, and most recently, schools. Every one of those words is very predictable. (And there are words that cannot easily be sounded out, most of which are quite common! But people never point to "two" or "eye" or "one". Why.)
2. There is no situation in which the phonograms "gh" "o" and "ti" can be combined in that order to make the word "fish". Those phonograms do not represent those sounds in those positions. If you think this is an okay comeback then you really don't know what you're talking about.
