As “blog master” for this project, I have had to examine each blog that is posted to this site for grammatical deficiencies. Even before being the head of this project, grammar has been important to me. After reading this article on punctuation, I gained a better understanding between the differences of written and digital communication. When speaking, especially in English, variations in tone help emphasize emotion, “but there are no pauses or inflections in digital communication”. Not having these necessary inflections may result in a person’s emotional intent being misconstrued.
