Spelling

Spelling We'll have our own little Spelling Bee today. We'll talk about the history of how we spell certain words in the English language, why sometimes our words break the rules, and why spelling in English is just so darn hard. We'll also take your comments and maybe have a little spelling quiz of our own. Guests Dr. Cynthia Lewis - Professor of English at Davidson College Dr. Ralf Thiede - Assoc. Professor of Linguistics, English Dept. at UNC Charlotte Ellen Levine - Co-Author of So You Think You Can Spell? David Grambs - Co-Author of So You Think You Can Spell?
