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 the foreign ears and it stuck. This book unearths the stories behind the rogue words that confound us.
