SMS
people can easily misunderstood or get misunderstood in a short message service, aka sms, conversation.
what one tried to convey in the sms might be interpreted in another meaning.
this is especially so when people tried to squeeze whatever they want to say into a single message containing only 160
letters.
no full-stops, no commas etc.
worse still, as it is all words only, there isn't any tone involved as in talking in a verbal conversation. this makes it even harder for the speaker to convey the intended message and gives rise to misunderstandings.
there are some ways to prevent this.
the best way is to include some smileys in the message.
why do people bother to create all these smileys if they don't serve a purpose?
they certainly make a difference as you can make use of these to express your exact feelings and to compensate for the lack in tone. thus, your message will get through clearer.
