Kress 122-175

As we talked in class last class, it is important to have proper punctuation due to the fact that some people will misunderstand the point if the punctuation is incorrect. For example, in class last time, my group as well as another group had discussed the road sign that said "Slow children playing." Obviously to most it would mean that children are playing so you should drive slow. All it needs is a comma for everyone to understand that the children aren't "slow".

When reading about multimodality meaning using different modes to help us understand a concept, what I thought about are all the things in cars today. For example, the Lexus has now come out with a car that can parallel park for you. Since I cannot parallel park worth a flip, this would be a great thing for me. However, at this time, you have to be more wealthy than I am to purchase that car.
