Because of its phonetic nature, nu shu could easily be taken out of context and be misunderstood. Today, many of us communicate through e-mail of instant messaging. Have you ever had an experience where one of you messages was misunderstood because of lack of context, facial or body gestures, and tone of voice? Or have you ever received a message that you misinterpreted and had your feelings hurt?
I know there are many instances throughout my day in which I use instant messaging, e-mail, and text messaging, and I know that the lack of body language and tone of voice can definitely be a major factor when reading a message such as the ones above. I know that I personally try not to use sarcasm in my messages because although I use it quite often at school, it can be easily misinterpreted as something mean. Tone of voice also plays in to the sarcasm. Sarcasm is often made by the tone of voice in which it is said. With text messages or e-mails it is impossible to bridge the gap that is what I like to call a "body language barrier".
My Dream
The Section That Looks Official and Takes Up Space
- S. Naes
- There's More Than Corn In, Indiana, United States
- Half the time nobody really bothers to read this section of the page, but I figured that since I'm bored I would fill up part of my page with the parts of my life that are odd. Probably the weirdest thing about me is my abnormal neatness when it comes to grammar and handwriting. I can't stand not capitilizing all of my letters at the beginning of a sentence, and ending everything with the proper punctuation. I can't write fast, so my writing territories fail epicly. Sorry Miss Holmes. When I write fast I get mad because my handwriting isn't neat. I am the master of all procrastination, although I am trying to work on it. I am fluent in sarcasm, as is my fellow sensei of the art, Flynnstone. I would fill this space with normal things, but those are uninteresting, so that's where I will end this section.
