IT 101 Week 2: Discussion Question 1

"WIU Copyrighted Material Removed at Their Request"

My tone with family and friends is, almost always, a jovial, light-hearted tone.  I use a variety of of emoticons and punctuation to highlight the feelings and emphasis.  For classmates I take a slightly more formal tone since we don't know each other that well.  I avoid the use of emoticons but will use text color and formatting to draw attention to, or contrast, certain points.  For the professors I take a much more formal tone and writing style.  I avoid emoticons completely and try to avoid using any color.  Instead I will focus on text formatting such as italic, bold, and underline as well as using bullet points and lists.
