It does seem that at least one source agrees with you (I, however, maintain that it's a contradiction).

v : examine or consider with attention and in detail; "Please peruse this report at your leisure"

Also from dictionary.com

Here's the solution to "Fish fish fish fish fish."

Fish (ie, certain swimmy animals) fish (hunt) fish (other swimmy animals) fish (that other swimmy animals) fish (also hunt).

It's a little easier if you think of it as Fish fish fish that fish fish.

:)

that's one sound though. I'm sorry i brought it up now, I didn't mean to stump everyone, but there are seven different sounds for "ought" (not gh)
ought
thorough (or bough)
slough (or through)
rough (or cough)
though (or dough)

I can think clearly now. :) But i still can't remember.

Darn. I am one of those who councils friends in college not to rely on Internet sources, and it is only an Internet source that you can find in agreement with me. I guess it must be a fabulous Internet source. /laugh
