(D)expressEvery year when April 14 rolls around we like to acknowledge Noah Webster, who published the first AmericanDictionary of the English Language on this date in 1828. Webster considered American English not a poor cousin of themother tongue of British English, 39 a legitimate body worth respecting, recording, and, yes, reforming. TheAmerican lexicographer attempted to 40 a number of spelling reforms. Noah Webster’s efforts were part of a longhistory of attempts to reform the quirky English orthography. In 1876, on the centennial of the American Declaration ofIndependence, and almost half a century after the American Dictionary of the English Language was first published, acommittee of the American Philological Association (APA) recommended serious spelling reform. Ten years after that,the members of the APA produced a list of 3,500 words whose spellings, they felt, should be changed. But 41 almost200 years of lists, announcements, and pronouncements, it is still safe to say that more lasting changes in Americanspelling have been the result of actual use by the people, not of decrees from on high.請依上文回答第39 題至第41 題。✕ 你選的
