            Writing has been the choice genre of communication for many centuries.  From cave drawings and hand written messages to emails and texts, the written language has been a very dominant form of communication throughout human history.  I personally believe, though, that I do an exorbitant amount more of traditional writing in this day and age than most people.  Many people communicate to others by way of quick simple drafts of text messages, snap chats and emails.  Very few people take the time to hand write a letter and then send it to another person.  I find letters to be more personal, and I feel it is something you can truly hold onto forever, therefore I write many to family and friends.  I also keep a journal of my life.  I structure my journal in a way that could be considered written prayer.  I tell about my life, ask questions, and even give thanks in my entries, as I am very religious.  In accordance with this I also use emails and text messages extensively.  Often times they are the fastest ways of communication, and I, in many cases, need to communicate fast.  However, throughout my emails and text, I make sure to keep my grammar and vocabulary very professional and neat, for I do not want to form a habit of improper grammar and spelling.  Grammar, vocabulary and the writing style of text messages can be very different from the ways I wish to write in my journals, letters and papers, and I wish to write professionally for all.
