Autorenporträt
Balthazar Cohen is a blogger and aspiring linguist based in New York. Rather than get irritated by the "totes ridic" phenomenon, like lots of people do, he decided to write The Totes Ridictionary, and turn his amusement at the online world's disregard for written English into cold, hard cash. That cash was quickly spent during an epic drinking binge in Williamsburg. (On an unrelated note, he's currently available for freelance writing jobs.)
