∙ 14y agoOriginally used for the aspirated sound of p and h, as in English up-hill or top-hat, the Greek letter phi became pronounced more-or-less like f over centuries. By Roman times, it was no longer a bilabial aspirate at all, but a labio-dental fricative.

∙ 9y agoThere are many words that use the letter combination 'ph' that sounds like 'f' in the English language. If a photograph is taken of a phonograph, there are two examples. Perhaps a chemist might introduce a phenol, or a psychiatrist could talk about phobias. Biologists would be happy to talk about biomorphology. It can be seen that there are a large number of words with ph in them, if only they could be deciphered.

∙ 10y agoPhineas headed down to the local TicketMaster outlet to try and score some Phish tickets. After all, thought Phineas, this is the nineties, and one has to keep up with all the hip bands! But when he saw the price of tickets, he realized he wouldn't have enough money left to get pharmaceuticals for the show, (among his many other failings, Phineas was a huge pharma-phage).
"I could invite Phillip, my physician friend, to the Phish show. He would likely turn me on to some fresh pharmaceuticals for free", Phineas figured. Suddenly, Phineas felt a sharp pang in his paunch. "Great! Now my phagedena is going to act up the day of the Phish show! Why God, why?" Phineas had never been in the best physical shape, and a recent accidental ingestion of phytotoxins hadn't helped matters.
