27/8/2014 0 Comments Spell Well.. in a NutshellTonight out monthly meeting saw fellow WI member Lorna Weir explaining the origins of some of the more unruly words in the English language. Who would have thought that some of the extra "ought" letters in words were caused by type setters being paid by the letter padding out their salary! After a comprehensive tour through the history of English we were challenged to a quiz where we had to roughly assign a country of origin to many interesting words. A few photos of the evening are in the gallery.
