This is a nitpick, but it's a word that just bugs me.

Threshold

You don't see it, do you? Nothing?

See, it's pronounced (from Dictionary.reference.com) thresh-hohld. Always spelt like that and always pronounced like that, but it just doesn't look like it should work like that.


With the spelling, it should be pronounced either thresh-old or thres-hold. The second is madness, while the first makes me feel like I'm using a white van man accent, and even then I slightly use the H. The letter h is pulling double duty as the h for 'hold' and the h in the 'sh' sound.


If it were spelt as it's pronounced, it would have two h-es back to back, which looks weird. Threshhold.


Just a nitpick, but it bugs me.
