When using Electronic Communication
(LET’S HOPE
HE’S NOT
DRIVING!)
(ONLINE SLANG DICTIONARY)
text miscommunication error means
An event while texting where the recipient of
your text gains the wrong meaning from your message.
You text "I'm really happy to be at work" to a friend. What you
really mean is "I really don't want to be at work." Your friend
thinks you are really happy to be at work and life is just grand
for you. This is a text miscommunication error.

Communicating via electronic messaging can cause
communication problems.
Face to face communication has body language cues,
expression, and tone of voice.
Studies have shown that non-verbal cues make up 93%
of our communication, and only 7% of communication
is the actual words.
If you do not understand, or are surprised by what
someone has said to you in a text message, check what
they meant. You may even need to call them on the
phone, or go and see them.
And just for fun!

Miscommunication through Texting

How could your
tone of voice change
these messages?
Say it sincerely, angrily, sounding interested,
sarcastically, sweetly, humourously:
Are you alright?
Where have you been?
What’s happening?
That’s just great!
Whatever!
