Our latest contribution to English Today was written by Hielke Vriesendorp, a research master student at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics with an interest in prescriptivism. His paper is called “The Internet’s (New) Usage Problems”, and its aim is to collect data on what new usage problems there might be in addition to the “old chestnuts” we are all too familiar with.
So do help him with his research by filling in the survey in the article, which promises to be very interesting indeed.
