The digital communication has become an integral part of our lives: for a large portion of people, interaction continues with its interlocutors through texts typed on a keyboard and has become a consolidated daily habit. In social media, as in any other type of environment, we are the language we use; the “grammar” with which we structure our content and our thoughts takes shape and shapes itself adapting itself to the context in which we communicate them.
