There is a major difference between the language in out conversations through email and our language in our ordinary conversations that we have face to face or through the phone anything where we actually speak words. I feel that it is a different scenario for every person. Some business people have very professional emails and they use correct and specific grammar and mechanics. Then when it comes to their ordinary conversations that they have face to face with others maybe they are not so professional. They may not use correct grammar and mechanics with their language. They often may even use slang. On the other hand some people use such correct grammar and mechanics in their ordinary conversation but if you were to see their emails they are not as well written. It is almost like they do not even know how to use grammar. But I truly believe that the situation varies between people individually. Some people use correct grammar and mechanics in both their emails and ordinary conversations. And there are some people who are not so correct in both ordinary conversation and emails, some to the point where they almost seem illiterate. I do not think that the problem is that we do not know how to speak but that we are lazy. For me I try to use correct grammar in my speech in ordinary conversations but when it comes to my emails I could care less. The problem that I find with that is when it is time to write an email to a teacher it is hard to remember "Oh yeah" I have to use correct grammar. It has also made it difficult to write papers. I find myself in a habit that has become extremely difficult to break. I have started to try to stop abbreviating everything and I have tried to touch up on my skills in grammar and mechanics. I also do not think that the problem is necessary in emails but in our generation it is all the stuff we type on facebook or myspace and other social networks. We get in such a habit of typing such things as LOL or JK that it becomes a part of our language. I have at times found myself saying LOL or JK in a conversation that I am having with someone face to face and I think to myself wow did I really just say that. I think that the real problem is that people just do not care anymore. I think that most people think, "Oh it is not affecting me". When really it is. We need to start using our skills in everything or we are going to look stupid I think. Look at the difference. You could say "...because I am going to go, do you want to go?" or "cuz Im gonna go, u wanna go?" I think we are all in the habit of the latter but it looks so much better the first way. It really was not that hard and I think that we should all try to practice our conversation skills not only through our ordinary conversations but also the ones that we have through email, facebook, or myspace.
