Join us for a funny and fascinating virtual chat with author Gabe Henry as he explores the chaotic history of English spelling and the quirky reformers—from Mark Twain to Benjamin Franklin—who tried to fix it. In his book Enough is Enuf, Henry traces the surprisingly hilarious journey of simplified spelling, from medieval times to the digital age, revealing how our language evolved and why we still write "cough" instead of "kof."
