Why is there an 'h' in ghost? William Caxton inventor of the printing press and his Flemish employees are to blame: without a dictionary or style guide to hand in fifteenth century Bruges the typesetters simply spelled it the way it sounded to their foreign cars and it stuck. This book takes you on a journey through English spelling.
