Gretchen McCulloch
“Sending someone all of the possible birthday party emoji is extra festive: great! But sending someone all of the possible phallic emoji (say, the eggplant and the cucumber and the corncob and the banana) is NOT extra sexxaayy: that’s a weird salad.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Gretchen McCulloch
“Dictionaries are the record of how people are already using the language, not providers of words for us to start using.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Gretchen McCulloch
“Like the big collaborative projects of the internet, such as Wikipedia and Firefox, like the decentralized network of websites and machines that make up the internet itself, language is a network, a web. Language is the ultimate participatory democracy. To put it in technological terms, language is humanity's most spectacular open source project.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language

Samuel Pepys
“I find it a hard matter to settle to business after so much leisure and pleasure.”
Samuel Pepys, The Diary Of Samuel Pepys

Gretchen McCulloch
“Language's only known predator is other people: many languages have been stamped out or imposed on others through war or conquest.”
Gretchen McCulloch, Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language
