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
