Now compare your list to classmates. Discuss your rules and why you chose them. Discuss which rules others share with you and why you think this is so. What do you think about the claim that IM and texting are wreaking havoc on the English language? To make this as interesting as possible, do not read your peers’ entries when you start this assignment (come up with your list on your own then do the comparison). RULES FOR DISCUSSIONS: Each and every discussion assignment has two distinct parts: 1) An Initial Post Each discussion assignment starts with a prompt or topic that I put forward for you to write on. These posts are a minimum of 700 words. These must be very carefully edited and free of surface errors. Additionally, they should address the topic of the discussion assignment fully and be VERY specific.
