Gibberish: Essays on Editing, Writing and Language Evolution

$0.00

The English language can often feel like gibberish.

A technical and seemingly nonsensical list of rules. It’s no wonder these directions can be difficult to digest and apply; the ways in which languages develop are as diverse as the people who use them to express themselves.

Gibberish aims to illuminate a path through the complex terrain of the English language. We explore punctuation and grammar, the evolution of language, editorial conventions and practice, and the growing movement towards inclusive language. Gibberish will guide you through the issues relevant to modern editors and writers.
