Texting, Facebook posts and other online entries can be thought of as real writing because they are words created in a relaxed medium. These entries differ from professional postings because:
• The audience and purpose are different
• Use of abbreviations/emoticons/slang/profanity
• Information conveyed is more important to the author than readers
• No business purpose is present.
