Description: This program talks about the origins of French orthography and the 1990 attempt at spelling rectification, which, inaccurately presented as spelling reform, ended in a public furor. Key figures in the case - reform promoters and their opponents, including former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard  - all have a say.
