listened on audiobook (I typically hate audiobooks, but we took this on during our drive to Thunder Bay). I'll think about this book a lot moving forward, so it was valuable. sometimes the earnestness was too much for me in the narration.

Realised I was reading the words on the page but not the actual book, will revisit another time because the concepts are fascinating

Rather academic look at the history of internet language, but less about present practice than I expected. Some nuggets that will stick with me (who knew that "hello" started with the telephone?). And, I guess I should try to stop using ellipses...but not sure I'll succeed :)

Help! Can't write this review without overthinking my use of formal/informal language on the internet!
