Onereason,ofcourse,isthatE-mailisnotlikeordinarywriting.“Youneedtothinkofthisas‘writtenspeech’,”saysGerardVanderLeun,literaryagentbasedinWestport,Connecticut,whohasemergedasoneofthepreeminentstylistsontheNet.“Thesethingsarelittlemoreconsideredthancoffeehousetalkandalotlessconsideredthanaletter.They’renottohaveandhold;they’retofireandforget.”Manyonlinepostingsarecomposed“live”withtheclockticking,usingrudimentarywordprocessorsoncomputersystemsthatchargebytheminuteandinsomecaseswillshutdownwithoutwarningwhenanhourrunsout. emergevi. tocomeoutofsomethingoroutfrombehindsomethingtobecomeknowne.g. Thefactsbehindthescandalaresuretoemergeeventually.

ThatisnottosaythatwithmoretimeeverywriterontheInternetwouldproduceasparklingcopy.Muchofthefictionandpoetryissecond-rateorworse,whichisnotsurprising,giventhatthebarrierstoentryaresolow.“Intherealworld,”saysMaryAnneMohanraj,aChicago-basedpoet,“ittakesahellofalotofworktogetpublished,whichnaturallyweedsoutalotofthegarbage.OntheNet,justafewkeystrokessendsyourwritingouttothousandsofreaders.” ahellofalotof (usedasanemphasizer)agreatdealof helln. usedforsayingthatsomethinghappensthatmakespeopleangryorupset,andtheystartfightingorarguinge.g. Ohhell,I’veforgottenmykey!
