In spoken language people emphisis words by puting words in to capitals, people also try to shout throught text’s by also putting them in capitals, this is one way in which speach influences texting .Even parts of texting have influenced spoken language for example Initisms (omg, lol,lol afk,). But depending on the way thay say it and what the topic of the conversation or piece of writing it can mean different things for example if you were talking over the phone to a loved one you could say ‘LOL’ which would mean ‘lots of love’.But if you were talking to a friend then you could say ‘LOL’ which could mean ‘laugh out loud’.

Adam! You’re the first student to do this. Congratulations. You demonstrate that you understand how the sound of someone shouting is represented in text messaging through the use of capitalisation.
The second section needs development. Can you expand by explaining how those initialisms are used when they are part of spoken conversation. Do they mean exactly the same thing in text and when you say them?
Let me know if you want me to explain further.
There’s a reward for being the first guy.
