 Spell it Out: The Story of English Spelling
Why is there an 'h' in ghost? William Caxton, inventor of the printing press and his Flemish employees are to blame: without a dictionary or style guide to hand in fifteenth century Bruges, the typesetters simply spelled it the way it sounded to their foreign ears, and it stuck. |

 Christie delivers a tale of deception and murder in an extended family of upper-caste Egyptians of 2000 BC. Rarely have the sniveling sounded so uxorious, the good so innocent, or the murderous so deceiving.  Reuploaded Thanks to ValerieV |
