How might texting create semantic noise? Give an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary, but students should show understanding of the meaning of semantic noise, which occurs when senders and receivers apply different meanings to the same message. In texting, various abbreviations are used to form brief messages (and sometimes to obscure the meaning from those the sender doesn’t want to understand the message). Examples are LOL (laughing out loud), JK (just kidding), IMO (in my opinion), and FWIW (for what it’s worth).
