Inhaltsangabe

Patricia T. O'Conner, the bestselling language maven who demystified grammar (Woe Is I) and writing (Words Fail Me) for legions of delighted readers, now takes on the challenge of polishing our electronic language skills.

E-mail and the Internet need not be the death of good writing. In fact, the computer could be the best thing to happen to literacy since the printing press. Since we're all writing all the time, You Send Me helps us polish up our language and social skills in cyberspace.

Dealing with subjects like etiquette ("To E or Not to E"), beefier writing ("The E-Mail Eunuch"), and civilized English ("Go Configure"), the authors deliver everything you need to know to achieve virtual savvy. If you'd like to upgrade your e-mail and other online writing, this is the book for you.

Praise for You Send Me:

"I love e-mail, but my love for it would run even deeper if everyone followed the sound advice given here by Patricia T. O'Conner and Stewart Kellerman. Then, too, their concise, lively writing in this book demonstrates the virtues they preach. If more people did as O'Conner and Kellerman say and did as they do, the world of words would be a better place."
-- Barbara Wallraff, author of Word Court

uncommon humor, O'Conner and Kellerman show you how to accomplish the
most important task you'll ever attempt on a computer: communicating
with other people." --David Feldman, author of the Imponderables® books

"Pat O'Conner has been a consistently keen observer of the ways our language is changing. With this book she and Stewart Kellerman make it clear that the future of English (God help us) is in e-mail." --Leonard Lopate, talk show host, WNYC
