In class we had a discussion about emails. Right after that discussion I learned that what we consider "private" messages are not exactly private. I also learned that the channel or in other words medium that we use in order to send messages can change the meaning or connotation of the message. Then it got me thinking that I already knew that anything we put out online is not safe at all. But, I never realized that our messages change depending on the platform we use according to my teacher.
For example, when I text my friends on messages, Instagram, or Snapchat I don't use proper grammar and I use abbreviation. But, when I write an email or text my mom or older relatives I use proper grammar and I don'y abbreviate.
