Review: "English spelling is fiendish. Probably only one in a hundred people have truly mastered it. Yet when famous writers like Hemingway (mirricle, ungry), Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf get it wrong, how are the orthographically challenged to cope?" "Thankfully, English lends itself to innovation. This book is a celebration of spelling. From the Lord's Prayer (Faeder ure [th]u [th]e eart on heofonum) to graffiti, from hairdressers (Curl Up n Dye) to poets, from texters to hip-hop fans (Tupac is da gangsta of da Sky), we love to play with words, as this gr8 book shows."--BOOK JACKET.
