The last few classes we talked a lot about discourse communities and which ones you're in and how they shape you as a person. After these few classes to reflect and really give thought to how many communities you are actually is crazy. Basically, every little hobby i have with a small group is its own little secondary community and it changes small things about you not only when you're interacting with people in that community but also from other communities that you might bring to another community. I'll give a little example from my life that popped to my head in the class while we talked about this was how we have many Canadians on the lacrosse team and they have their own ways of talking but one thing that has spread through the team and I catch even myself doing is saying "eh" at the end of a sentence.
