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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

It was too pop for me. Her audience is too general, too uninformed about linguistics. I wanted her to go deeper maybe. Idk it just didn’t really interest me. Her references for internet speak were too old/millennial, and that makes sense. It was published pre pandemic and was prob written years before. It’s hard to write a book that captures the moment. I might return to it
