- Enough Is Enuf : Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell. by Henry, Gabe.;
Why does the G in George sound different from the G in gorge? Why does C begin both case and cease? Anyone who has ever had to write in English has, at one time or another, struggled with its spelling. So why do we continue to use it? 'Enough is Enuf' is a brief and humorous 500-year history of the Simplified Spelling Movement from advocates like Ben Franklin, C. S. Lewis, and Mark Twain, to the natural simplification of spelling in texts and on Twitter.Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century; HISTORY / Modern / 19th Century; HISTORY / Reference; HUMOR / Form / Anecdotes & Quotations; HUMOR / Topic / Language; LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Spelling & Vocabulary;

- Underestimated : the wisdom and power of teenage girls / by Goodan, Chelsey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In the vein of Reviving Ophelia and Untangled comes a fresh, unexpected, and empowering guide to better understand teenage girls, revealing how their insights can create heartfelt connections and impactful change. Written with warmth and humor, Underestimated is the first book to invite us into a teenage girl's brain and heart, as told from the point of view of a beloved and trusted mentor. Chelsey Goodan is a highly sought-after academic tutor who has worked with hundreds of girls from all different backgrounds, earning their trust, confidence, and friendship. They in turn have shared with her their innermost concerns, doubts, and what they wish they could communicate to their parents and the world at large. With topics and language directly chosen by the girls, Goodan reveals how the solutions to a girl's well-being lie within her. She offers parents the exact words they can use to help her discover these solutions and demonstrates how adults can better support a teenage girl's voice to create positive change. Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on our own fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom, creating more healing and connection for everyone. With inspiring ease, Underestimated shows us how to do this with accessible advice, entertaining narratives, and profound wisdom"--- Subjects: Teenage girls.;
