All his life Noah Webster devoted himself to the adoption (^: ffl) of an American language. He wanted to free Americans from British English as they had freed themselves from the British power. Aiming at this he published three text books:a speller in 1783,a grammar in 1784,and a reader in 1785.
Webster objected to the way certain words had been borrowed from other languages but had not been respelled. The result,he said,was a disordered mixture of letters,many of which were not pronounced the way they looked,and others of which were not pronounced at all.
Webster persuaded Americans to simplify their spelling. For example, he insisted that "head"should be spelled"hed"and "bread"should be spelled"bred". Most of Webster’s suggestions
did not catch on
,but his textbooks sold millions of copies.

A、The three Books of Noah Webster.
