Alphabet to Email: How Written English Evolved and Where It's Heading

Alphabet to Email attempts to draw together these strands of thinking about writing, about speech, about pedagogy, about technology, and about globalization. My intended audience is anyone who has a stake in the English written word: teachers of composition (as well as grammar and literature), teachers (and students) of English as a second language, linguists, computer specialists, and, perhaps most important of all, the venerable educated lay person who’s curious about where the English language (especially in its written form) has been and where it might be going.
