Challenge accepted: non-standard spellings are very common. I won't use the obvious example, rough/though/through/tough/cough/enough/Gough, I'll try to keep on theme. So give these ones a go: argue, vague, ague, merengue, brogue, chaise-longue, fatigue... are these all practical jokes or just accidents of lexicographic history?
