"A funny and fact-filled look at our astoundingly inconsistent written language, from Shakespeare to spell-check." -St. Petersburg Times David Wolman explores seven hundred years of trial, error, and reform that have made the history of English spelling a jumbled and fascinating mess.

Utterly captivating, deliciously edifying, and extremely witty, Righting the Mother Tongue is a treat for the language lover-a book that belongs in every personal library, right next to Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, and the works of Bill Bryson and Simon Winchester.
