Through no fault of your own! When somone invents a way to transmit tone with text, they will be very rich, and everyone will know what everyone else is implying! I often get into arguments over text taken in the wrong tone of voice
And Rule of Four opinions.... Here, or shall I save them for elsewhere? I don't want to clog up this thread with OTT reviews.
