A discussion to explore the various ways in which spelling and pronunciation change in English… and why<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is English spelling so variable, and what are the historical reasons that have led to such an evolution of the language?<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the English Caf\u00e9<\/strong> meeting of February 8th<\/strong>, at Caf\u00e8 Promenade<\/strong>, at 8:00 pm<\/strong>,\u00a0we will discuss this topic, drawing inspiration from the poem The Chaos<\/strong> by Gerard Nolst Trenit\u00e9<\/strong> and talk about the reasons for the diversity of spelling in English, including a short time-line of the origins of the language.
\nNothing too “academic”! we’ll chat about this topic in a way that’s easy to follow, even for those not familiar with the subject, using the poem as a starting point.<\/p>\n

B<\/span><\/span>y the way, the book we are reading for the Sirmione Book Club English<\/strong> and that will be discussed on March 14th<\/strong> at the Public Library is Cold Comfort Farm<\/strong><\/a> by Stella Gibbons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
