Spelling Dearest

The Down and Dirty, Nitty-Gritty History of English Spelling

2004 • 168 pages

And missed opportunities by well-respected people to create a spelling system as complicated as ours. Parents and teachers of poor spellers will feel relief and sympathy when they realize, it's not the children's fault they can't spell. It's the fault of our needlessly complex spelling system. Despite its serious subject matter, Spelling Dearest is down-to-earth, entertaining, and engaging. A great read for English language and history buffs.
