101 Spelling Trivia Questions To Beat The Bee

Proper” orthography can help us keep our sentences tidy and orderly, allowing us to communicate effectively. It lets us know that a “dear friend” is a pal and not a woodland creature, that “damming a river” isn’t the same thing as cursing it,” and that “dyeing wool” is a way of making colorful fabric and not the hair of a sickly sheep.

On the other hand, in the hands of writers like Charles Dickens, Zora Neale Hurston, and Charles Chesnutt, “improper” spelling can be a way of accurately representing the speech of everyday people. Many writers have gotten creative with their way of writing words, and whether or not you can determine the weather they’re describing is up to you.
