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

funny informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.0

So, audiobooking about about typed communication wasn’t my most brilliant move so far this year. Nevertheless, Because Internet was entertaining and enlightening. The chapter in the emergence and use of emojis from a linguistics researcher’s point of view was really interesting, as were the discussions of formal and informal language. As someone who’s been “very online” since high school, this book also made me feel old. 😂
