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

funny informative medium-paced

5.0

This is one of my favorite non-fiction books to date. It’s funny, informative, AND delves deeply into linguistics of the internet, a topic which is phenomenally interesting to me. This is the book I wish I’d had in middle school, both to explain why some things people said about internet culture or did online irked me, and to explain to me that my affectation of grammar-policing was not making me cool and smart, but rather annoying and close-minded.
