English and What Does She Mean?

Authors

Charlton Lawrence Edholm

Abstract

I had just been reading an impassioned denunciation of one more attempt to force a simplified system of spelling down the throat of a long-suffering public. All my literary sympathies were engaged in the phrase "The noble old language of Chaucer and Shakespeare is sufficiantly simplified for us" when a newly-landed friend from Berlin approached and began his daily course in "English and What does She Mean?"
