Subject: Your Wrong: Call for Examples


Dear colleagues,
I'd like to introduce my new project: https://yourwrong.co.uk/.
Your Wrong is a crowdsourced database of examples of linguistic
prescriptivism from popular culture and I'd love your help to find
more!
If, during your usual reading, watching and listening habits, you
notice either:
a) an example of linguistic correction;
b) a judgement (be that positive or negative) about language use; or
c) descriptions of people or characters as prescriptivists
in any form of popular culture, in any language, I'd be hugely
grateful if you could let me know via the website. The call will be
open for at least the length of the project (until October 2027).
On the website, you will also find more information about the broader
project.
Thank you and all the best,
Emma
