Excerpt from How to Learn to Spell

In speaking the English language, one uses more than forty sounds. Our alphabet has but twenty-six letters. Certain letters represent more than one sound. This causes difficulties in spelling and pronunciation.

Five letters, a, e, i, o, u, are called vowels - voice letters. The word vowel may mean a sound; again, it may mean a character representing a sound.

The names, long, short, broad, flat, etc., as applied to sounds, being technical, are apt to mislead. In speaking a word, a long sound may be quite as short as a short sound.

The sound known as short 0 is difficult in two ways; difficult to know, difficult to utter when known.
