Our Failed Attempts to Make English Eezier to Spell: a Virtual Talk with Author Gabe Henry
2025-09-17 14:00 - 15:00
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.
