Download or read book The ABCs of an Old Codger Named Jim Part II N to T written by James P. Gildersleeve and published by ABCs of an Old Codger Name. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Part II (N to T) of a collection of short, easy to read stories on a variety of themes ... always entertaining, never boring ... perfect for reading when only limited time is available. Why does the title of book revolve on the ABCs? Have you ever thought about the exciting world of interesting words and the trivia associated with them? I hadn't, but that's what I've adopted as a focus of this book. I have selected a word for each chapter, in alphabetic order, that has been given scant attention in my everyday conversation and explore interesting facts or stories regarding their meaning or usage. Now, you might be wondering how I selected the word to explore for each letter of the alphabet ... for example, 'A is for Aardvark'. It's simply a matter of what tickled my interest at the point of time that I began writing each new chapter. When I started, I had no preconceived idea of what words would be used for each chapter. I chose 'aardvark', wrote the chapter, and then began consideration of what should follow in the B chapter. Each successive chapter followed a similar path. My objective was always to make each tale interesting. I hope I succeeded. I also hope you find this collection of stories to be entertaining to you as well. If not ... well, I'll have another of my books to gather dust on the shelf above my computer. Published in three parts: I - A to M; II - N to T; III - U to Z.

Download or read book Dictionary of the British English Spelling System written by Greg Brooks and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. 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 ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.
Download or read book You Ain t Heard Nothin Yet written by James Bawden and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalists James Bawden and Ron Miller spent their careers interviewing the greatest stars of Hollywood's golden age. They visited Lee Marvin at home and politely admired his fishing trophies, chatted with Janet Leigh while a young Jamie Lee Curtis played, and even made Elizabeth Taylor laugh out loud. In You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet, Bawden and Miller return with a new collection of rare interviews with iconic film stars including Henry Fonda, Esther Williams, Buster Keaton, Maureen O'Sullivan, Walter Pidgeon, and many more. The book is filled with humorous anecdotes and incredible behind-the-scenes stories. For instance, Bette Davis reflects that she and Katharine Hepburn were both considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara but neither was "gorgeous enough" for the part; Janet Leigh analyzes the famous shower scene in Psycho (1960), which was shot in seven days and gave the actress nightmares for years; and Jimmy Stewart describes Alfred Hitchcock as a "strange, roly-poly man, interested only in blondes and murder." Popular horror film stars from Lon Chaney Jr. to Boris Karloff and Vincent Price are also featured in a special "movie monsters" section. With first-person accounts of Hollywood life from some of the most distinguished luminaries in the history of American cinema, this entertaining book will delight classic movie fans.
