"This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It?s a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students.

Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters
