What Is A Letter?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A letter basically is a written message from one individual to another. The part played by letters in communication has changed considerably since the 19th century.

    Traditionally, letters were the only dependable means of contact among two individuals in different places. As contact technology was spread, letters have become less significant as routine communication. The development of telegraph, telephone as well as internet have all impacted on the writing and sending of letters. In contemporary industrialized countries, the exchange of personal letters has become highly uncommon.

    According to analogy, the expression letter at times is applied for e-mail messages which have a formal letter like format. Letters are still used, usually by companies and advertisers. With the introduction of compact cassette, tape letters turned into novelty.
