- 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;

- The Outsmarters [electronic resource] : by Ellis, Deborah.aut; cloudLibrary;
What can you do when the adult world lets you down? Suspended from school and prone to rages, twelve-year-old Kate finds her own way to get on with her life, despite the messed-up adults around her. Her gran, for one, is stubborn and aloof — not unlike Kate herself, who has no friends, and who’s been expelled for “behavioral issues,” like the meltdowns she has had ever since her mom dumped her with her grandmother three years ago. Kate dreams that one day her mother will return for her. When that happens, they’ll need money, so Kate sets out to make some. Gran nixes her idea to sell psychiatric advice like Lucy in Peanuts (“You’re not a psychiatrist. You’ll get sued.”), so Kate decides to open a philosophy booth to provide answers to life’s big and small questions. She soon learns that adults have plenty of problems and secrets of their own, including Gran. When she finds that her grandmother has been lying to her about her mother, the two have a huge fight, and Gran says she can’t wait for Kate to finish high school so she’ll be rid of her at last. Kate decides to take matters into her own hands and discovers that to get what she wants, she may have to reach out to some unexpected people, and find a way to lay down her own anger.
