Rewriting Sounds & Syllables <ce> and <se> endings units. Screw you, Anglo-Norman scholars.

Such beautiful food at Core today. 🙂

I’m really looking forward to getting my paws on this. Chris’ last book is probably the best all-round primer on teaching ready. I’m sure this will be equally good.

Just arrived in North Wales for a day of spelling goodness. 🙂

Frequency-dependent selection in the English spelling system across 1000 years of histor osf.io/preprints/ps... Fascinating paper by Carr & Rastle on how English spelling has been shaped over the past 1000 years or so by both positive and negative frequency-dependent selection.
