Larpers and shroomers

the long version

"In Larpers and Shroomers: the Language Report, Countdown's Susie Dent chronicles our shape-shifting language, focusing particularly on what's new for 2004. She draws together highlights from the language of politics, TV, and chat rooms, and charts the new trends in grammar, pronunciation, and punctuation. Surveying subjects as diverse as teen slang and euphemisms, the language of food and drink, and taboo language, Larpers and Shroomers provides hours of fun browsing."--Jacket.
