Have you ever wondered why the English spelling of words is sometimes… well… just weird? Come on a surprisingly hilarious journey with author Gabe Henry through the history of the English language. Enough is Enuf humorously traces the “simplified spelling movement” from medieval England to Revolutionary America, from the birth of standup comedy to contemporary pop music, and explores its lasting influence (in words like color without the “u,” and the iconic title of the Prince song, “Nothing Compares 2 U.”) Henry finally brings us to the digital age, where the swift pace of digital communication now pushes us all 2ward simplification.
