Do you agree or disagree with the idea of using punctuation in the text you send?
I try to always send my texts with punctuation if I am writing a long text. However, if I am writing something short I will usually skip punctuation and simply write a new text back to back. Based on the Ted video that we watched I have come to a new understanding of our new form of communication through text and I now agree with the thought that texting is written speech and we should not be expected to use correct punctuation because we don't use punctuation when we speak. Punctuation has now been substituted with emojis. It is not that we have omitted punctuation but that it has evolved into a form of picture punctuation.
Wow Vanessa, i also try to use proper punctuation and agreed with your post. I just never thought that we have substituted punctuation with emojis. This is true especially with the new apple IOS 10 update and how emojis are filled in for certain words. You gave me new insight!
