Putnam County Spelling

Famous quotes containing the words putnam, county and/or spelling:

    Even American women are not felt to be persons in the same sense as the male immigrants among the Hungarians, Poles, Russian Jews,—not to speak of Italians, Germans, and the masters of all of us—the Irish!
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    In the county there are thirty-seven churches
    and no butcher shop. This could be taken
    as a matter of all form and no content.
    Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)

    My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.
