Blog #4 One thing I can continue to practice is my use of language. I tend to always be on my cell phone texting and without even thinking I will use "text talk".I tend to shorten words or use two letters such as jk instead of saying just kidding, shortening other words and, I hardly to never use punctuation either. I have been working on spelling everything out and spelling it properly when I text now and when im online sending an email or a message. I have also been doing a lot of reading which is really helping me see proper use of language and punctuation as well.
