18.We use the Internet for many things:business,shopping,writing letters,talking to people,finding information,and so on.in recent years,a new kind of English has grown on the Internet.There's no real word for it yet,so we'll call it e-talk.

:-)(happy):-( (sad):-0 (surprised)
These days,many people use picture emotions.For example:
It takes time to get used to e-talk.Also,different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating.The people who are new on a chat sometimes have to ask other people what they mean.As the Internet grows,e-talk will continue to grow and change.
