Explore how punctuation, broadly conceived, works in one of the most informal forms of writing: text messages. Specifically, draw from your own experience and analyze an example of miscommunication in texting that revolved around punctuation.
If you’re having trouble coming up with an example, think about the following:
What do you make of punctuation marks that have been re-purposed in text messages so that they mean something else? For example, how does the absence of punctuation, as well as the presence of periods, question marks, and exclamation marks, change the meaning of the one word message below?
Sure
Sure.
Sure?
Sure????
Sure!
Sure!!!!
What role do emoji and their ancestors, emoticons, play in “punctuating” text messages?
What sort of information do emoji and emoticons convey?
Does everyone agree on what all the different emoji and emoticons mean?
Are there any emoji or emoticons that might send the wrong message?
Keep in mind that what matters here is your analysis: don’t just give me an example; tell me also how your example is an example of textual miscommunication.
