I am a speech-language pathologist in an elementary school. A colleague (a 3rd grade teacher) has repeatedly asked me over the years why 'speak' is spelled with 'ea' while 'speech' is spelled with 'ee.' I would love to be able to enlighten him with an answer before he retires at the end of this school year.
