Task 8. Discussion. How is the Internet Creating New Rules for Language? Answer the questions 1. Do you think the Internet language is different from our real-life language? If yes, how is it different? 2. Do you prefer calling or texting? Explain your choice. (2-3 sentences) 3. Have you ever misunderstood the message you got because of the language? Why?

Okay, here are my answers to Task 8:

1. Yes, I think Internet language is different from real-life language. It's different because it often uses abbreviations, slang, and emojis to communicate quickly and informally. Real-life language is usually more formal and detailed.

2. I prefer texting. It allows me to think about what I want to say before sending it. Also, it's less disruptive than a phone call, especially if the other person is busy.

3. Yes, I have sometimes misunderstood messages because of the language used. This can happen when people use slang or abbreviations that I'm not familiar with. It can lead to confusion about the intended meaning.
