The extent to which the internet has altered the norms of the English language is taken stock of from the nuances of tildes to the likes of 'LOL', following the patterns behind seemingly absurd slang forms.

THE ACCLAIMED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Have you ever puzzled over how to punctuate a text message? Wondered where memes came from? Fret no more: Because Internet is the perfect book for understanding how the internet is changing the English language, why that's a good thing, and what our online interactions reveal about who we are. 'McCulloch is such a disarming writer - lucid, friendly, unequivocally excited about her subject - that I began to marvel at the flexibility of the online language she describes, with its numerous shades of subtlety.' New York Times

Romance crackles in magical Regency London in this dazzling tale of a stolen jewel and the heroine who will do anything to retrieve it—even don a disguise and work with a high-handed-but-attractive stranger who is not what he seems. From New York Times bestseller Garth Nix! On her eighteenth birthday, Lady Truthful Newington—nicknamed “Newt”— is dreaming about her upcoming trip to London, where the streets are filled with magic and eligible young lords. Before she goes, she is to inherit her family’s treasure: the Newington Emerald. A dazzling heart-shaped gem, the Emerald contains mysterious and powerful magic.When the Emerald is stolen, Newt sets off to recover it. Her plan entails dressing up as a man, mustache included, as no well-bred young lady should be seen out and about on her own. While disguised, Newt encounters the handsome but insufferable Major Harnett, who joins the hunt for the missing Emerald. Offended by her new ally’s high-handedness but eager for assistance, Newt strives to conceal her true identity from Harnett, little guessing that he too is not as he appears.A sweeping adventure ensues filled with sinister fey, fancy dresses, witty banter, daring seaborne escapes, grand balls, and a sorceress whose evil plot threatens everyone from Newt herself to the Prince Regent. And as Newt and Harnett face danger together, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye—and more alarming yet, they may actually be falling in love.The New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel, Garth Nix, shares his own love for the Regency romantasy genre in a charmed world where everyone has something to hide.Tropes: <ul><li>Mistaken Identity</li><li>Enemies to Lovers</li><li>Forced Proximity</li><li>Dark Fey</li><li>Slow Burn</li><li>Regency Romance</li></ul>

A Regency Romantasy

Newt's Emerald

"The Art of War for the Tik Tok generation" - Donald J Tump (56, Milton Keynes) Geraint Anderson is a genuine phenomenon. Ever since he wrote his bestselling memoir Cityboy, which followed Geraint as he embarked upon a wildly successful (and not at all fraudulent) investment banking career, publishers have been begging him to reveal how he climbed the corporate ladder with such ease. Did he achieve his remarkable brilliance through diligence and hard work? No, he did so because he is a psychopath. In this remarkable book, Geraint explains that the world is rapidly becoming such a brutal place that soon it will only be psychopaths who succeed - whether the aim is to become top dog in business, politics or, indeed, the clergy. Within these pages, you will quickly learn how to think like a stone-cold killer and, in so doing, become the very worst version of yourself. This is the first book of its kind - a realistic manual that explains exactly how to be a winner in today's dog-eat-dog capitalist world. You may not like a lot of what Geraint has to say, but that's only because it's radical, disturbingly honest and usually involves a surgical scalpel. So, stop behaving like a limp-wristed fruit picker and, instead, buy this book. Become what you were always destined to be: a warrior, a winner... a psychopath!

Designed for graduate classroom and professional development use, this guide encourages readers to think rhetorically about audience, genre, and beyond, and to apply these reflections in meaningful ways as they craft the documents they will need throughout their careers.The first section addresses key concepts in design convergence: design thinking, information architecture, and technology and the second section provides application opportunities for readers. In establishing a foundational understanding of the key concepts used in design convergence, the guide brings together a range of disciplinary knowledge and experiences, including ways to work with generative artificial intelligence. Integrated into each chapter are exercises and scenarios based on real-world academic professionals' experiences that are designed to help readers deepen their understanding and consider possibilities and opportunities for (re)design in their field. Each chapter includes activities that position readers to work with their own information and content toward purposes that meet their personalized needs. These exercises include generating documents related to educating, leading, branding, and serving, such as classroom, research, and professional development materials.Providing an equitable foundation for document genre construction and demystifying audience expectations, this book appeals to graduate students, faculty and institutional leaders in Rhetoric, Composition and Writing Studies as well as the humanities, arts, and social sciences.

Attention Seeker

ICTAR 2025 is the second international conference conducted by NSBM Green University in Sri Lanka under the theme, "Breaking boundaries: Breakthrough research in a changing world". This is a multidisciplinary conference focuses on a diverse community of scholars, researchers and practitioners from around the globe to explore innovative approaches and breakthroughs in applied research across various disciplines, i.e., computing, engineering, business management, science and technology. ICTAR differs from other multidisciplinary conferences by its broader scope, larger scale and quality of publication (e.g., published with a reputed academic publisher). ICTAR dives into engaging discussions, presentations, and workshops covering a wide array of transformative topics, spanning from cutting-edge advancements in technology and science to impactful solutions addressing pressing societal challenges. The major expected research outcomes of ICTAR would involve producing a conference report published with a reputed academic publisher which targets indexing in academic databases to make the studies easily searchable and discoverable, publishing selected papers in indexed academic journals, and creating platforms for ongoing research collaborations. These research outcomes can significantly impact the research and academic community by advancing knowledge, fostering collaborations and influencing future directions of applied research. These outcomes may lead to new discoveries, improved methodologies, and a better understanding of complex issues, ultimately contributing to the broader academic and societal landscape.

A Little Bird Told Me

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.
