A World Without 'Whom'

A provocative and jaunty romp through the dos and don'ts of writing for the internet (NYT)--the practical the playful and the politically correct--from BuzzFeed copy chief Emmy Favilla.A World Without Whom is Eats Shoots & Leaves for the internet age and BuzzFeed global copy chief Emmy Favilla is the witty go-to style guru of webspeak. As language evolves faster than ever before what is the future of correct writing? When Favilla was tasked with creating a style guide for BuzzFeed she opted for spelling grammar and punctuation guidelines that would reflect not only the site's lighthearted tone but also how readers actually use language IRL. With wry cleverness and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of internet-age expression Favilla makes a case for breaking the rules laid out by Strunk and White: A world without whom she argues is a world with more room for writing that's clear timely pleasurable and politically aware. Featuring priceless emoji strings sidebars quizzes and style debates among the most lovable word nerds in the digital media world--of which Favilla is queen--A World Without Whom is essential for readers and writers of virtually everything: news articles blog posts tweets texts emails and whatever comes next . . . so basically everyone.
