Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell with Author Gabe Henry

Date September 17 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Location Adams Memorial Library
1112 Ligonier Street
Latrobe, PA 15650 United States

In Enough is Enuf, Gabe Henry humorously 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.” Finally, Henry brings us to the digital age, where the swift pace of online exchanges now pushes us all 2ward simplification.
