Men and women use the Internet in completely different ways, and have distinct styles of writing emails, according to new research.
"There are pretty good odds at being able to guess the gender of someone just by reading their emails," said David Silver, an assistant professor in the school of Communications at the University of Washington. "Many studies have found that men using email tend to supply answers that shut down the dialogue. Women are more prepared to open up the discussion. They're also more prepared in a chatroom to say 'I don't, know. What does everyone else think？'"
Male messages tend to offer solutions to problems. Women tend to keep conversations going and ask more questions. They aren't afraid to admit ignorance.
A study by Dr Susan Herring, a linguistic expert at Indiana University, has also shown that men tend to express strong opinions. By contrast, women tend to use diplomatic language along with questions, offers, suggestions and polite expressions.
Silver said a huge change had occurred in global Internet use in the past few years as women find their place in a medium previously dominated by men." Many women in the mid-90s lost interest in the Internet by slang," Silver said. "The old Internet chatrooms were racist, and often sexist. So women simply started their own chatrooms. "Silver pointed to a series of studies into the differences between male and female behavior. Online.
One study showed women were a lot less status-oriented (强调身份的) in their use of the Internet. In one chatroom for academics it was noticed that female undergraduates, graduates are all treated each other equally.
In the same chatroom, researchers noticed women were a lot quicker to share information.
The news comes as the gender balance in Internet use shifts towards women.
In the UK, women account for 40 percent of those online at present and this is expected to rise to 60 percent by 2005.
In the United States, a recent study shows that 51 percent of Internet users are women.

听力原文： A New Mexico church plans to bum Harry Potter books because they are "an abomination to God," the church pastor said on Wednesday.
Pastor Jack Brock said he would have a "holy bonfire,' on Sunday at the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo in southern New Mexico to torch books about the fictional teen-age wizard who is wildly popular with young people.
"These books encourage our youth to learn more about witches, warlocks, and sorcerers, and those things are an abomination to God and to me," Brock, 74, told Reuters.
"Harry Potter books are going to destroy the lives of many young people."
The books, written by British author J.K. Rowling, have been runaway bestsellers and a movie, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," is currently a blockbuster hit.
Brock, who said his Christmas Eve sermon was titled "The Baby Jesus or Harry Potter," described the book burning as part of an effort to encourage Christians to remove everything from their homes that prevents them from communicating with God.
The books have come under fire in a few U.S communities for supposedly encouraging devilish thoughts among the young, but Rowling in an earlier statement issued by her publisher—Bloomsbury called the criticisms absurd.
"I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, ' Ms. Rowling, I' m so glad I've read these books because now I want to be a witch," she said.
The reasons why the church wanted to bum Harry Potter books didn't include that______
