2013-11-22T05:36:36Z

DavePhilcox:

Coordinating conjunctions, or '''coordinators''', are a subset of conjunctions used to join two or more words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance. <ref>"http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/conjunctions.htm What Are Conjunctions?" Grammar-monster.com. Grammar-Monster, n.d. Web. 13 Nov. 2013.</ref> They always appear in the middle of a sentence. <ref>"http://prtl.uhcl.edu/portal/page/portal/WC/TIPSHEETS_new/TIPSHEET_CompClause_new/Comprehending%20Clauses.pdf Comprehending Clauses." UHCL Writing Center. UHCL Writing Center, n.d. Web. 14 Nov. 2013.</ref> Commas are sometimes used to separate clauses or with the final words of sentences.

What are “coordinating conjunctions”?

2013-11-22T01:54:09Z

DavePhilcox:

Coordinating conjunctions, or coordinators, are a subset of conjunctions used to join two or more words, phrases, or clauses. <ref>[http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/conjunctions.htm]</ref> They always appear in the middle of a sentence <ref>http://prtl.uhcl.edu/portal/page/portal/WC/TIPSHEETS_new/TIPSHEET_CompClause_new/Comprehending%20Clauses.pdf</ref>.

==List of Words==
'''for''' : used for explanations

'''and''' : used to join non-contrasting items or ideas

'''nor''' : used to join non-contrasting negative ideas

'''but''' : used to display contrasts or exceptions

'''or''' : used to join alternative items or ideas

'''yet''' : used to display contrasts or exceptions

'''so''' : used to display consequences

(The acronym for remembering the coordinating conjunctions is "FANBOYS") <ref>http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/coordinatingconjunction.htm</ref>

==Usage==
*Coordinating conjunctions joining '''individual words''':

'''Ex.''' "They fight all the time. They makeup all the time."
becomes
"They fight and makeup all the time."

*Coordinating conjunctions joining '''individual phrases''':

'''Ex.''' "We could drive there. We could fly there."
becomes
"We could drive or fly there."

*Coordinating conjunctions joining '''individual clauses''':

'''Ex.''' "I'm going home early. I do not have enough money."
becomes
"I'm going home early, for I do not have enough money."

What are the unique components of online writing?

2013-11-08T07:34:42Z

DavePhilcox:

[http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_types_of_online_writing_are_there%3F Digital/Online writing] is the use of written words and characters to form messages that are both '''1) published in an electronic format''' (blog, e-mail, social media, wiki, etc.) and '''2) transmitted for accessibility through the use of the internet'''. The manner by which society processes data is made almost instantaneous as writing has transcended into the digital age. Writing for online, as [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/How_does_online_writing_differ_from_traditional_writing%3F opposed to writing for print], makes for the use of five unique components: '''Hypertext''', '''Scannability''', [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_are_good_sources_to_cite%3F '''Credibility'''], '''Usability''', and [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_is_multimedia%3F '''Multimedia'''].

== Hypertext ==
The use of '''hypertext''' allows for writers to link supplemental information from outside sources directly to the body of text meant for online publication. This text can be linked internally (through the same website) or externally (to a different website). [http://books.google.com/books?id=va-XwwLma-cC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false]

== Scannability ==
As writing has digitally evolved, so has humanity's interpretation of the written word. Through the process of '''scanning''', web users may diffuse unnecessary information to find the desired text quickly and efficiently. The idea is that the longer it takes a user to find what they want, the quicker the site loses its reputation as a dependable source. [http://www.kerryr.net/webwriting/structure_scan-read.htm]

== Credibility ==
The '''credibility''' of any online literature or publication is based on the source of information being presented. Through the use of hyperlinks, writers can cite their research so that readers can access these sources at any time. [http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/credibility1.html]

== Usability ==
Users seeking gratification prefer a website where information is efficiently delivered without error or delay. Overall user satisfaction directly affects a site's '''usability'''. [http://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-tools/methods/writing-for-the-web.html]

== Use of Multimedia ==
The digital environment in which online writing exists allows for incorporation of '''multimedia''' (image, video, audio, interactive content, etc.). This adds to the overall user experience by appealing to the the user's senses. [http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/starttofinish/multimedia/]

[http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_types_of_online_writing_are_there%3F Digital/Online writing] is the use of written words and characters to form messages that are both '''1) published in an electronic format''' (blog, e-mail, social media, wiki, etc.) and '''2) transmitted for accessibility through the use of the internet'''. The manner by which society processes data is made almost instantaneous as writing has transcended into the digital age. Writing for online, as [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/How_does_online_writing_differ_from_traditional_writing%3F opposed to writing for print], makes for the use of five unique components: '''Hypertext''', '''Scannability''', [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_are_good_sources_to_cite%3F '''Credibility'''], '''Usability''', and [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_is_multimedia%3F '''Multimedia'''].

== Hypertext ==
The use of '''hypertext''' allows for writers to link supplemental information from outside sources directly to the body of text meant for online publication. This text can be linked internally (through the same website) or externally (to a different website). [http://books.google.com/books?id=va-XwwLma-cC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false]

== Scannability ==
As writing has digitally evolved, so has humanity's interpretation of the written word. Through the process of '''scanning''', web users may diffuse unnecessary information to find the desired text quickly and efficiently. The idea is that the longer it takes a user to find what they want, the quicker the site loses its reputation as a dependable source. [http://www.kerryr.net/webwriting/structure_scan-read.htm]

== Credibility ==
The '''credibility''' of any online literature or publication is based on the source of information being presented. Through the use of hyperlinks, writers can cite their research so that readers can access these sources at any time. [http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/credibility1.html]

== Usability ==
Users seeking gratification prefer a website where information is efficiently delivered without error or delay. Overall user satisfaction directly affects a site's '''usability'''. [http://www.usability.gov/how-to-and-tools/methods/writing-for-the-web.html]

== Use of Multimedia ==
The digital environment in which online writing exists allows for incorporation of '''multimedia''' (image, video, audio, interactive content, etc.). This adds to the overall user experience by appealing to the the user's sense. [http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/starttofinish/multimedia/]

As writing has digitally evolved, so has humanity's interpretation of the written word. Through the process of ""scanning"", web users may diffuse unnecessary information to find the desired text quickly and efficiently. The idea is that the longer it takes a user to find what they want, the quicker the site loses its reputation as a dependable source.

== Credibility ==
The ""credibility"" of any online literature or publication is based on the source of information being presented. Through the use of hyperlinks, writers can cite their research so that readers can access these sources at any time.

== Usability ==
Users seeking gratification prefer a website where information is efficiently delivered without error or delay. Overall user satisfaction directly affects a site's ""usability"".

== Use of Multimedia ==
The digital environment in which online writing exists allows for incorporation of ""multimedia"" (image, video, audio, interactive content, etc.). This adds to the overall user experience by appealing to the the user's sense.

Online/Digital writing is the use of written words and characters to form messages that are both 1) published in an electronic format (blog, e-mail, social media, wiki, etc.) and 2) transmitted for accessibility through the use of the Internet. The manner by which society processes data is made almost instantaneous as writing has transcended into the Digital age. Writing for online, as opposed to writing for print, makes for the use of five unique components: Hypertext, Scannability, Credibility, Usability, and Multimedia.
