Uncle Ho and Typography

"Duong Kach Menh" is one of the most famous book of Ho Chi Minh who is usually called Uncle Ho, this book is now 80 years old. As I said in the title "Uncle Ho and Typography". why there is typography here? It is because of the title of the book "Duong Kach Menh" there is a spelling error here. "Kach" should be written as "Cach" even though the pronunciation is the same. Actually, people usually talk about the content of the book and they ignore the title. They don't try to understand why Uncle Ho write "Kach" instead of "Cach"? or they just explain that this is just Uncle Ho's writing style.

But I strongly believe that there is a relationship between the title and the content of the book. First of all, what does "Cach Menh" means? it means revolution. Moreover, in the first page of this book, Uncle Ho also explained that Cach Menh is that: the old and the bad one should be replaced by the new and the good one. That's why i believe that when he wrote the title, he played with the title by changing "Cach Menh" to "Kach Menh" which represent to the revolution and the replacement.
