Everyone:
list all the times you can remember when texting led to a misunderstanding--when someone on either side misinterpreted some meaning. Then, either:
o Write
about one of those times.
o If
you have access to a text conversation right now (whether it led to a
misunderstanding or not; this can be a completely typical conversation), examine
it. What features of that conversation are specific to text-speak? What meaning
do they convey? How well did they do so in this particular conversation? Was
there misunderstanding? If so, why?
o If
you don’t text at all, write about why you have chosen not to. How has the proliferation
of texting around you changed your communication with others? What do you observe
about texting as a non-texter?
