Wired
Style Principles of English Usage in the Digital Age Edited by Constance Hale |
|
From the editors of the online magazine Wired (and most particularly the wittily wise Constance Hale – see Sin and Syntax) comes a book that takes a serious look at a new world of writing. Wired Style contains samples of "Net-speak" and defines certain key terms ( such as "the hive," "hotlist," and "morph"). It answers questions such as "Is there a trick to replicating .sig files in print?" It discusses how Wired handles trademarks and email addresses. It also philosophizes and comments on a new era in communication in an intelligent and amusing manner. The following is an excerpt from the first
chapter of Wired Style, |
