first posting

in this posting, i am supposed to discuss the differences and similarities of sms, email and chat language. first of all, i'd wish to write down the similarities between sms, email and chat language. to start, all those are electronic texts and are basically used to make the world of communication a lot more easier for people nowadays. they simply have more convertions of speech rather than writing besides that they are sort and simple. That is why so many ways of writing in sms, email and chat are introduced which mostly are the same in each. for example, we use short forms and abbreviation, new spelling, capitalization to express feelings, trailing dots, all types of punctuation marks, code switching,repetition of consonents and vowels and many more. in addition, they could also insert attachments and templates to make the mutual text more fun and interesting.

there are also some similarities between email and chat such as they both could insert smiley and emoticons while sms could only insert smiley. besides that, email and sms are similar for both can provide the specific time and date and also provide service on forwarding messages to single and multi-receipants at the same time.

what is different between sms, chat and email is that sms and chat are both synchronous services while the email is a asynchronous service. chat and email could also have hypertexts or hyperlinks but it is different with the sms because it does not provide this service.

introduction

this is my first blog ive ever done my whole life. frankly, ive never even thought of having one if not for this course. Mainly because i dont have time to connect to the internet as often and there probably arent much stuff happening in my life to talk about. as for now, i guess ill have to share my experience on making my own blog. at first, before even entering the class, i thought there sure will be some difficulties; with so many instructions, keywords to fill in and all sorts of unfamiliar words. however, with my lecturer's help, i have completed the task without any complications. now, i can start posting my thoughts and share it with the whole class. A big thanks to Datin Norizan for introducing such a fun class!
