Side 88: The worldwide mortality from snake bite is very high, and in Indiaalone each year some 20,000 people die from this cause.
Side 233: Spelling. ... The letter a, for example, represents not one sound in English but several, as in the words random, fare, father, savage. Moreover, the sound of a in the word mate may also be indicated by combinations of letters, as in the words steak, sail, hay and rein. Although it is sometimes possible to account historically or otherwise for the spelling of such words as height, weight, heifer; thief, lie, friend; or soon, good, flood, door, such spelling inconsistencies are bewildering to the student. Spanish, Italian, and other approximately phonetic languages seem to present far fewer problems.
Side 352: Possession of a submachine gun by a private individual is illegal in the United States.
Side 233: Spelling. ... It is not always remembered that when English spelling began to move toward uniformity during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, largely because printers felt a need for such uniformity, many earlier inconsistencies were more or less permanently fixed. From very early times, sporadic attempts to regularize English spelling had been made, but the spellings chosen by the early printers were chosen amost arbitrarily and certainly with no view to make the English alphabet an efficient phonetic instrument. Thus, mid-twentieth century English spelling is basically Elizabethan spelling, although English pronunciation changed radically in the centuries from Elizabeth I and Shakespeare to James Joyce and W. H. Auden.
