"Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell" Author Gabe Henry Discussion on Gabe Henry's Latest Book: Enough is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell. Learn more about the Event and Register with the link provided in the margin. TOMS RIVER – Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey through the history of the English language during a virtual author talk with Gabe Henry at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sep. 17. Henry will discuss his newest book Enough is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell. Anyone who has the misfortune to write in English will, every now and then, struggle with its spelling. In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to simplify English spelling. This book is about them: Mark Twain, Eliza Burnz, Noah Webster, Upton Sinclair, Emma Dearborn, Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and countless others. Henry goes back to medieval England, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music and to the digital age of swift online exchanges. Gabe […]
