@farmerman,
On the first floor of the American Museum of Natural History,
thay have an exhibition concerning Teddy Roosevelt,
as well thay might, in that he was very instrumental in founding it.
Among his memorabilia, are poison pen letters
and some letters to the editor exposing him to ridicule n vilification
for his efforts to change spelling on-the-job in the Executive Branch
of the US Government to fonetic spelling, a century ago.
He thawt it woud be more logical n more efficient.
Congress did not support his efforts.
