Works of writing will vary a lot based on the audience and the style of the paper. That is why it is important to adapt your writing to the specific assignment or project. Most of the time I find myself writing rhetorically on accident. Although some instances in high school I remember specific guidelines for example to not use I in papers. This is to adapt to the audience because when you are doing a research paper, the reader doesn’t care about what you think or what you believe.…
When texting, the point is to get a quick message across, unlike a formal essay which takes a lot more time and effort. If one starts putting that much time and effort into a text message, it defeats the purpose.

When I start to write a paper I will write a rough draft and then write the final paper. I will admit that when writing the rough draft I will include text speaking and abbreviation. I don’t know why you wouldn’t. Yes it’s informal, but your writing is for you, why not use it, as long as you understand when writing your final paper that it’s not formal and you need to fix it. I also asked my English teacher his opinion, he’s argument was completely different.…
Be sure to keep your audience in mind when you write to keep them interested in you as a writer, and you should be passionate about your subject to show the audience you really care.

Simplicity can reach your audience better, so make sure your eloquence is serving your ideas. Use your own words when you write instead of sounding like something you are not, as the readers will find this more enjoyable. Say what you mean like your teachers taught you, so that your readers will have clarity and understand what you are conveying.…

Because nursing professionals must abide by the HealthInsurance Portability and Accountability Act…
Texting is meant to be quick and convenient and not used like the way we write…
I always tried to text the way I would communicate with a live person sitting in front of me, never using any emojis, occasionally putting in a simple colon and a closing parenthesis right next to it. But after a while, it becomes clearer, that it simply doesn’t work like that. The younger generation adapts their ways of communication to the new technologies, and that should not be…
