For Freedom of Spelling: The Discovery of an Art by H.G. Wells

In this short satirical essay, the author humorously defends the idea of spelling reform by suggesting that creative freedom in spelling could be seen as a form of personal expression. The "plot" is a playful philosophical argument, mocking rigid linguistic conventions while highlighting the absurdities of English orthography. It blends whimsy with clever critique. Though brief, it sparks thought about language, identity, and communication. It’s a witty defense of eccentricity in writing.
