Logical Spelling

Logical Spelling (1980) by B.V. Allan (Collins)
Offered by Crappy Old Books – because logic never goes out of print, even if taste does.

Tired of the quirks and chaos of English spelling? So was B.V. Allan. In Logical Spelling, this brave 1980s attempt at rationalising the unruly English language, Allan sets out to tame words with the cold precision of logic, one vowel at a time. Forget “through” and “though” — welcome to a brave new orthographic order where reason reigns and silent letters finally get the sack.

Whether you’re a spelling reform enthusiast, a collector of obscure linguistic relics, or just here for the novelty, Logical Spelling is a must-have for your shelf of charmingly overambitious educational detritus.
