Point 1) on language is a passion project of mine, simplifying English and attempting to make it be received as respectable in court, business proceedings, government meetings. Hashtag for that is #InternetLanguage
How does the internet laugh and is "hahahaha" more pragmatically salient than "lol"? I'm looking forward to seeing the development of this discussion including punctuation and emojis. #dataviz#pragmatics#internetlanguage
A little more on #messaging#punctuation; #emoji contribute the missing tonal and affective dimension to digital text but still no easy way to flag e.g sarcasm. #Fullstop/exclamation conventions vary between apps and age-groups.
In passive-aggressive translation, if someone ends their long heated debate online with “Have a nice day”, you know it’s the diplomatic way to really mean “Go f*** yourself”. Have a great day, y’all!!! :V #internetlanguage
