Righting the Mother Tongue: From Olde English to Email, the Tangled Story of English Spelling by David WolmanMy review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Fun, interesting book about - well, the history of spelling, really. Touches on the evolution of English to where it is now, different attempts to reform or simplify spelling, and the effects that modern technology are having on language and spelling.

This sounds like a book that is right up your alley. :) Were there lots of long words that were hard to spell too? Olde English is like reading a different language...
