Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch

5.0

A really fascinating look at something I sort of take for granted. I found the look into how teenagers talk on the internet accurate to by experience, and was really interested by the discussion of how older people coming into internet use reluctantly change or don't change their language. As someone who very much grew up with online life, it was also cool to get to look back and see how it all started. Awesome stuff, and if you've been on tumblr in the last few years you'll definitely recognize some of the posts she references.
