Coming together again after 20 years can be an exciting yet confusing experience. Although we all graduated from the same high school but the time has definitely parted us.
Granted that the internet is relatively new, the communication style being used is very similar to the old days: non-structural and injected-humor in unexpected sentences. Most of them write in “street” style as if we can not spare few seconds to write appropiately. Further the content being written is light, short and directive.
Our friends here are highly educated so they obviously know how to write. However as someone pointed out Indonesian communication style reigns regardless their background. It's hard to get things acrossed but you are expected to show your teeth. Has anyone seen “Lost in Translation”? Better get the DVD now.
