My left side of my brain is a slacker, the right side is dominant. What this means is I have to work at writing, spelling and math to some extent.
What I'm saying is I can feel handicapped using the internet (typing) as my only means of communication - hence I like to post pictures with my comments. It’s great to have this as an option for the spatial or graphically oriented brain.
I feel the Internet writing styles are
more expressive than other type mediums because of the so-called rules and to a lesser extent the lack of rules.
For example if you type in all large case capital letters, then you are shouting. The italics and bold letters are not so abused or typically used in business and pleasure reading materials. This in a nutshell why the Internet medium is so creative and naturally freeform............................love the dot dot dot thing too.
Yes, it's changing (changed) the way we write, time for a smiley face.
