Recommended by Diane Bowen. Target audience--Geared to high-tech
communications writers and editors but also of use to general Internet
users. Comments: Although its irreverent style can sometimes be off-putting,
this book does a fine job of defining and explaining computer acronyms,
buzzwords and technical jargon, and it offers Wired magazine's rationales
for its spelling and language usage (e-mail hyphenated or not?). I especially
like the pronunciation help.
