This is because they come from a computer
program called ICQ, which means I seek you. ICQ
is an e-mail chatline that people use to have
online conversations with friends. One Canadian
teacher says, People can use their computers to
talk to each other.But you are supposed to type
quickly so the other person doesnt get bored,
so using e-mail English helps you write
quickly.

The first are abbreviations. These are
formed by using the first letter of each word in
the phrase. For example , BTW means by the way,
and GSL means cant stop laughing. The second
kind of word is a homophone- its created by
combining letters and symbols, or numbers, to
sound like other words. An example of this would
be to write great as gr8, or to write see
you later asCUL8r.

When you write e-mail English you do not
need to use punctuation marks only in the
traditional way. You are also supposed to use
them to show the emotion you are feeling. These
are called emotions. The advantage or using
punctuation marks is that you can make faces with
them. The most common one is the happy face- it
looks like this ) And it is made with a colon
and a right bracket beside it.

E-mail English is fun- its almost
like writing riddles. You Can learn it easily by
yourselves, and experiment with your own ideas.
It is not rude to write e-mail English, but it
is important to use it only at the proper time-
when you are e-mailing a friend, or sending a
message to a friend on mobile phone. But you
shouldnt use it in class, and remember
your teachers will not be pleased if you write
e-mail English in a test!
