CJME/CKOM News Talk Sports

Montreal-based "Internet linguist" Gretchen McCulloch, who's currently the resident linguist with WIRED, has made a career examining the ways the Internet has rapidly changed our language and how we communicate. Her new book "Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language" examines some of these changes and outlines the "new rules." Is it rude or passive-aggressive to end an online message with a period? Does typing IN ALL CAPS mean you're angry or excited? Does "lol" still mean "laughing out loud"? What are the style rules when you smash the keyboard to express? To help answer these questions and discuss the direction our language is heading, McCulloch joins John now.

The HOUR OF RAGE!

A Saskatoon police officer accused of assaulting a suspect during an 2016 arrest was found not guilty yesterday. Jarett Gelowitz punched, kicked, and kneed a suspect after a high-speed chase but Justice Richard Danyliuk, taking into account the size, strength, age, and gender of the parties involved, found the force used was not more than necessary to protect the officers and subdue the suspect. Gelowitz was fired from the police service after the assault charges were laid against him, and now the Saskatoon Police Association is calling for his reinstatement with back pay and legal costs. Dean Pringle, President of the Saskatoon Police Association and Vice-President of the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers, joins John now to discuss the case.
