The difference between texting on your phone and typing on a keyboard
For my project I am looking at two Facebook chats between two people of the same age, sex and who go to the same college. To make my results and the data I use fair I am using every other thing that is said on either a laptop/computer keyboard or on a smartphone, using the Facebook app. What I plan to find is if their dialect changes depending on how they are communicating on the website and the ease that they can do this in both ways. For example, as smartphones have auto-correct it is less likely to misspell words, however one of the pieces of data I have collected the person says 'I wanted her to have a good tie' but then sent 'time' showing their correction as this was from their phone. However, typing on a keyboard can also be difficult as some keys can be difficult to press on, the same person said 'mistakeslol' as one word without pressing the space bar in between, from this we can infer that it can be easy to think you have pressed a button without actually doing so. I am pleased with the amount of differences and similarities I have found during my research and do plan to use this for my project.
