Ebook: A World Without "Whom": The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age

A World Without "Whom" is Eats, Shoots & Leaves for the internet age, and BuzzFeed copy chief Emmy Favilla is the witty go-to style guru of internetspeak.

As language evolves faster than ever before, what is the future of "correct" writing style? When Favilla was asked to create a Style Guide for BuzzFeed, she opted for spelling, grammar, and punctuation that would reflect not only the site's lighthearted tone, but also how readers actually use language today, IRL.

With wry cleverness and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of internet-age expressiveness, 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. Her sensible yet surprising approach will fascinate and delight word nerds, grammar and style geeks, and all those who appreciate the artfully placed emoji or punctuation mark.

This engaging, provocative book about how language changes is as full of charm as it of useful advice. Featuring priceless emoji-strings, sidebars, quizzes, and style debates among the most lovable linguaphiles of the Web copy world--of which Favilla is queen--A World Without "Whom" is essential for anyone who cares about the future of words and writing.
