Eyes Before Ease

By (author) Larry Beason






| book description |

Is spelling still important in the age of spellcheckers? Ask Dan Quayle. Part guide to better spelling, part paean to an endangered art, Eyes Before Ease is filled with fascinating trivia, historical asides, astute personal observations, and good-natured humor about why spelling is still important - even with the advent of spellcheckers. Professor Larry Beason argues that spelling is more than just the correct arrangement of letters - it sheds light on the human experience itself. It lets us communicate with other people, it indicates (right or wrong) our intelligence, and also brings us together as a community. Beason also explains why our particular spelling system is so difficult, how to become a better speller, and why you should never trust a cyborg for the correct spelling of a homophone.
