I read this book with my student for his research writing project. Meaningful and informative do not begin to describe this book. Malcom Gladwell lends his thought-provoking perspective on our success. Success is contributed by numerous factors: time, opportunity, resources, and supportive people and environment.

In Like, Literally, Dude, linguist Valerie Fridland shows how we can re-imagine these forms as exciting new linguistic frontiers rather than our culture’s impending demise. With delightful irreverence and expertise built over two decades of research, Fridland weaves together history, psychology, science, and laugh-out-loud anecdotes to explain why we speak the way we do today, and how that impacts what our kids may be saying tomorrow. She teaches us that language is both function and fashion, and that though we often blame the young, the female, and the uneducated for its downfall, we should actually thank them for their linguistic ingenuity.
