In today’s culture people can tell a story in many ways. Depending on whom the audience is the wording may be different. With the influence of cultures and languages from everyday life there is bound to be a new breed of language. In example some use Spanlish, the combination of English and Spanish, in everyday speech and maybe in emails. When writing an email to my professor or my boss I would be very formal and professional although, on the other hand talking to friends and cousins are completely different. With newer generations of families being born, they are adapting their own language uses. Take into example that the English we use today is far different from when it was created and it is mainly based on different influences.

Almost anything goes and they almost always could care less about it. Talking to a professor or an employer there is no room for that kind of friendly luxury. For example even writing this essay I have to watch what I say and have lots of editing. With those audiences in mind the tone that can be sarcastic, funny, and humorous, can turn into a pile of boring, straight-to-the-point, dull e-mail
