Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but not a single one of those words pronounce the "wo" like it is in "women."
It seems to be closest to the i in fish -- hence the fun alternate spelling of photi
Ghoti is better (using the "gh" in "enough"), and yep.
Womb and women are pronounced the same (well, except the ending).
Unless it's a local dialect thing where "women" is pronounced "wimin"?
Nobody I've ever heard pronounces it "woo-min", only "wimmin." Definitely not a local dialect.
Well, if you heard me, I pronounce "women" like "womb".
Maybe I have the local dialect.
Are you from PNW? I think I remember a video from reddit where someone said woo-min and a commenter said they're from there and say it like that.
