tion
[edit]Back 45 years ago, my first grade teach wrote the letters "tion" on the board and talked about the special way those four letters are pronounced. If that's not a tetragraph I don't know what is. Randall Bart Talk 22:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

ough
[edit]What about ough? Isn't that a tetragraph? (although it can be pronounced in so many different ways...) 82.3.43.103 (talk) 23:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's just a common sequence of ou + gh. — kwami (talk) 07:57, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
