商品描述
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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《沒有「誰」的世界》是《吃、射擊與停頓》在網路時代的延伸,而 BuzzFeed 的全球文案主管 Emmy Favilla 則是網路語言的機智風格專家。
隨著語言的演變速度比以往更快,「正確」寫作的未來會是什麼?當 Favilla 被指派為 BuzzFeed 創建風格指南時,她選擇了反映網站輕鬆語調的拼寫、語法和標點符號準則,同時也考慮到讀者在現實生活中實際使用語言的方式。
以機智的幽默感和對網路時代表達可能性的敏銳直覺,Favilla 提出了打破 Strunk 和 White 所制定規則的理由:她主張,沒有「誰」的世界是一個更能容納清晰、及時、愉悅且具政治意識的寫作的世界。《沒有「誰」的世界》包含了無價的表情符號串、側邊欄、測驗,以及數位媒體界最可愛的文字迷之間的風格辯論——Favilla 是其中的女王——對於幾乎所有的讀者和寫作者來說,這本書都是必備的:新聞文章、部落格文章、推文、簡訊、電子郵件,以及未來的任何東西……所以基本上是每個人。
