Ought. Aught is an old word meaning 'something' as in the opposite of naught.
That is the correct spelling of the helper verb "ought" (ought to = should).The similar word is the archaic pronoun aught, which means anything.
The word aught means "zero" such that a score of 2-0 could be read as "two-aught" -- this is the same spelling used in the word naught meaning nothing.The spelling "ought" is used to mean "should" -- as in "he ought to fix the roof."
