William,
Semi literate might be a little harsh don't you think? Particularly
as your email contained a question without a question mark at the end of the
sentence.
People use punctuation such as the asterisk to place emphasis on
certain words. Unlike conventional written material, such as books, the
Internet has engendered a hybrid form of communication that is delivered via
print, but influenced by speech.
What this form of print-speak lacks however is the ability to place
intonation on certain words or phrases. Using the asterisk works very well
in this regard.
I'm all in favour of good grammar and punctuation, but many of the
rules that are applied to our written words are context dependent. In the
context of the Internet, many of the rules that govern conventional writing
have been adapted.
Regards,
Léonie.

I would like to know why some of the semiliterate users of this group use
the asterisk symbol as they do.
