@ phallica - 16.08.19 - 12:28pm What why. Yes, he genuinely tried to avoid any and all words containing the vowel letter 'e'. (He was successful). He was told that this feat was 'impossible' and he wanted to prove this is not so. You can read his 'Introduction' to get a sense why. He also claims this 'book may prove a valuable aid to school children in English composition'. http://archive.org/stream/Gadsby/Gadsby_djvu.txt |

Bad Words - 7 Banned Books Through Time Wonder whether Ulysses (1922) by James Joyce is still banned elsewhere. Remember the Mein Kampf was unbanned in Germany a few years ago. Picked it up a few years before that. |
