The affordnaces of Imessage
Imessage has multiple affordances; one of them being that all the messages both sent and received are permanent, unless you decide to delete them for whatever reason. Also you can send pictures and voice notes as well for free. However, in order to do so, you must have either internet (3G or 4G) or WiFi, otherwise it will cost you. Another advantage of imessage is that you can turn on read receipts so the other person knows if you've seen their message or you can turn it off, which is good because you can ignore people and they don't even know! Some disadvantages of imessage are that sometimes they send as text for no reason which can cost you and is just inconvenient.

Analysis of conversation
Sophie: the bottom of the E? is it where the bottom of the E starts or the/
Isabel: the top of the E starts uh we're gonna do a big (.) uh (.) same size as the E (.) eight
Sophie: the letter eight?
Isabel: yeah
Sophie [laughs] i mean the number eight
Isabel: [laughs] the number eight yeah (3) right (.) and then once you've done the number eight (.) you do two circles inside so its like a bubble eight (4) okay (2) and then (.) same width apart that you did the eight and the E (.) backwards E obviously (.) we're gonna do a big X
Throughout the conversation, there is a lot of colloquialism used, due to the fact we are friends so therefore talk informally to each other. Fillers are also present in the conversation and utterances such as 'uh' which breaks up the speech and allows Isabel to think about what to say next. Pauses also give her time to think of how to describe the next shape, the pauses show that it's spontaneous speech. We also used elision which is when we slurred our syllables together and said 'gonna' instead of going to, we say this as it's easier than saying two words.

Dried Humour
Dried Humour
Jane was sat on a date.
The sun was shining.
"I love picnics" Jane said aloud, the aroma of fresh cut grass strong in the air.
She began to feel slightly uncomfortable, risen from her seat, to her astonishment, she caught
a glimpse of the pulverised raisin In her presence.
