Cripps article response

The main element of the Cripps article that I noticed was the language--the diction of the Theory section was very academic, which makes sense given the purpose of the writing. However, it was odd to me to see this type of academic writing in the hypertext context. Meaning: most hypertext writing is more informal, and the diction is much less sophisticated. If there is an academic piece if literature online, it is usually its own page, and is most likely a new window of black text on a white background. This piece, however, is black text with the blue background, and various hyperlinks at the top of the page. There is an artistic design outside of the writing itself, which is uncommon for academic pieces if writing. The writing was a little less formal in the sense that Cripps used parantheses quite often. This is a practice that would be frowned upon in a strictly academic setting; however, since it is on a website, which has a more casual feel, it is ok for the extensive use of parantheses.
