A World Without "Whom": The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age

Autor Emmy J. Favilla, BuzzFeed
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 2017
Eats, Shoots & Leaves for the internet age As language evolves faster than ever before, what is the future of 'correct' writing? When Emmy Favilla was tasked with creating a styleguide for BuzzFeed, she opted for spelling, grammar and punctuation guidelines that would reflect how readers actually use language IRL. With wry humour and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of internet-age expression, Favilla makes a case for breaking the stuffy rules that have hitherto defined our relationship with language. Featuring priceless emoji strings, sidebars, quizzes and style debates among the most lovable word nerds of the digital media world - of which Favilla is the go-to style guru - A World Without "Whom" is essential for readers and writers of posts, tweets, texts, emails and whatever comes next.

Caracteristici

EATS, SHOOTS, & LEAVES for the internet age, an eloquent, entertaining counterpoint to The New Yorker copy editor Mary Norris's Between You and Me, the first major book on internet-age language. Since the explosion of Facebook, Twitter, and BuzzFeed, no one has officially addressed the changes and additions to our everyday lexicon. For anyone who reads, writes, and posts (which is pretty much everyone).

Notă biografică

Emmy J. Favilla joined the BuzzFeed team in 2012 and is now global copy chief. She is also the creator of the BuzzFeed Style Guide, which garnered a great deal of media attention as the unofficial "style guide for the internet" when it went public in 2014. A New York University graduate, Favilla has worked as a copy editor at Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and Natural Health. She lives in New York City with a cat, a dog, and two rabbits.

Recenzii

What a fab book. If Emmy Favilla ever seeks adoption, give her my number. Not enough panda jokes, but otherwise hahahahaha
Despite the tone of chirpy self-satire, what follows is a small revolution . Unlike the language scolds of yore, Favilla embraces the new ways, punctuating her writing with emoji, inserting screengrabs of instant messages, using texting shortcuts such as "amirite"? Hers is a rule book with fewer rules than orders to ignore them
