snatchier

In view of these results, it might be assumed that emails show an even smaller occurrence of punctuation marks than linked text messages, as a logical conclusion of the analysis would be that sentence structures are again more complex in emails. Surprisingly, however, punctuation marks are five times more frequent in emails than in linked messages. Yet, considering the random example in (191), one can see that emails can even be snatchier in sentence style than single text messages: the email example consists of 83 words and 15 (fragmented) sentences, which corresponds to an average of 5.5 words per sentence.
