22. Section2 … This is because they come from a computer program called ICQ, which means I seek you. ICQ is an e-mail “chatline” that people use to have online conversations with friends. One Canadian teacher says, “People can use their computers to talk to each other.But you are supposed to type quickly so the other person doesn’t get bored, so using e-mail English helps you write quickly.” While You Read

23. Section2 … The first are “abbreviations”. These are formed by using the first letter of each word in the phrase. For example, BTW means “by the way”, and GSL means “can’t stop laughing”. The second kind of word is a “homophone”- it’s created by combining letters and symbols, or numbers, to sound like other words. An example of this would be to write “great” as “gr8”, or to write “see you later” as“CUL8r”. While You Read

24. Section2 When you write e-mail English you do not need to use punctuation marks only in the traditional way. You are also supposed to use them to show the emotion you are feeling. These are called “emotions”. The advantage or using punctuation marks is that you can make faces with them. The most common one is the happy face- it looks like this :) And it is made with a colon and a right bracket beside it. While You Read
