I was just mulling this over in class, but does anybody believe that the "voice" people use online carries over into their life? I've heard of some people using "text names" for their children (such as An instead of Anne, Conna instead of Conner, etc.). Think there's any correlation?

Very interesting . . . hmmmm . . . what is it that people "use" here online to "correspond" with one another?
ReplyDeleteI believe that the "voice" people use online carries over into their life. Think of how many times you might here somebody say Lol or a different acronym while talking to their friend. Teachers frown on students talking this way, but there are a lot individuals who take on their "internet voice" into their "real voice".
ReplyDeleteI liked your question about ASL with the correlation to speech.
This is very interesting I see a lot of teens and children doing this because of the amount of text messages they send. My future sister-in-law was writting a paper the other day and asked me how to spell was. She does really well in school she was just used to writing wuz and simply couldn't remember how to spell it correctly. I think this has the potential of becoming a major literacy issue for students
ReplyDeleteI do think that teens carry their online/text voice over into their everyday life. I admit that sometimes I use text terms when chatting casually with friends. However, I am noticing more often that teens are using more and more of their so called online/text "voice" everywhere.
