Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or spelling:
“Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.”
