Discourse Community Response

Discourse community explains that the community holds a set of unwritten rules that govern its discourse in a larger concept of language. These rules may be slightly modified at any moment, but are to be followed like they were a set of norms in a community. Three rules would be: all rules are to be written in a sensible and legible manner and understandable for all people; all rules are to be kept current; and finally all rules must be kept clear and well organized. The three rules above all are important for a discourse community to function well. All communities have discourse communities within, and without them I believe things may be a little more jumbled than usual.
