Do you speak English? Yes? Well, do you speak e-mail English? Maybe not. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called ICQ. It means / seek you. ICQ is an e-mail chatline that people use to send messages quickly. Ian Lancashire,a Canadian teacher,likes ICQ. "People can use ICQ to talk with each other with computers."
A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of other words. These are called acronyms (首字母组合词).The second kind is homophones(同音异义词).
Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. F2F stands for face to face CSL for can't stop laughing and DBEYR for don't believe everything you read ！
Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example ， 8 sounds like-ea^ in great, so to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you, or sometimes CU18r( see you later). The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of/or. *
E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code. Your best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers might not. Actually, many teachers don't like e-mail English. It's not just because they can't understand what it means. It's because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one's friends.
