English spelling is messy to say the least, and a delightful new book by Gabe Henry recounts the long history of attempts to simplify English spelling. It's called Enough is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell (Bookshop|Amazon), and details efforts by Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, and Teddy Roosevelt to improve on how English words are spelled. This is part of a complete episode.
