[Facts] Re: Leigh vs Lee
What I wrote is not "entirely wrong" - please note my phrase from above: "There is much more to it all than these broad generalizations, but for the sake of brevity, I hope these help". Were you present when "after Y lost its original value as a front-of-mouth u"? Did it occur on a specific date at a specific place? Were you present when the supposed "compromise was made with the spelling gh"? If so - who was involved - when and at which location? Can you please explain to me why the word 'Apophthegm' is spelled differently within different dictionaries published during the last fifty years? Please let me know. I'm interested. I love this stuff.
