An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it. His first book, The Elementary(基礎(chǔ)的)Spelling Book, suggested making the spelling of English words easy. The book was very popular. In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed.
