For more info visit libraryc.org. The Comedic History of English Spelling with Gabe Henry
Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a hilarious journey with author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language as we discuss troublemakers, like Mark Twain and Noah Webster, who broke all the rules.
In Enough is Enuf, Gabe Henry traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music, and explores its lasting influence in words like color (without a U), plow (without -ugh), and the iconic ’90s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Register for the online event , Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!
