One day 'i before e' works. The next day? Nope. Silent letters lurk like shady houseguests, vowels keep changing their outfits... and 'y?' (Is it a vowel? A consonant? A double agent?)Dear Diary: I Think the Alphabet Is Gaslighting Me! is not your average spelling book. It’s part snarky diary, part writing guide, and part support group for anyone who has ever stared at a word too long and thought, That can’t be right.From the creator of Dear Diary: Punctuation Can’t Save the World (But It Did Save Grandma) and Dear Diary: I Have 99 Problems, and They’re All Numbers, this third entry in the Dear Diary Style Files takes on the tricks, traps, and tantrums of English spelling with equal parts honesty and humor. Inside you’ll find:Real rules that never seem to stick (and why).The alphabet’s worst gaslighting moments.Tips that actually help writers, students, and editors survive the chaos.Plenty of sarcasm, sass, and side-eye for every time spelling lets us down.This book isn’t here to make you memorize endless lists of 'exceptions.' It’s here to laugh with you at the absurdity of it all - while quietly slipping in the knowledge you need to spell with confidence (or at least with plausible deniability).Whether you’re a student, a teacher, a writer, or just a word nerd with a grudge against 'colonel,' this diary will reassure you that you’re not alone. The alphabet really is gaslighting us. But together, we can fight back - one misspelled word at a time.The Dear Diary Style Files are a series of short, cheeky guides that tackle the mechanics of writing with humor, honesty, and a touch of sarcasm. Perfect for classrooms, creative writers, and anyone who likes their grammar advice served with a wink.
