posts with a tone. Does anyone else? Sometimes I pick the wrong tone and misunderstand people.
I remember in grad school a professor once chewed out a colleague of mine for a certain email that the professor felt had an "inappropriate and aggressive tone."
It's hard to find the tone in written things. Remember doing that in literature clasess?
It's all up to interpretation. Just think of "Tess of the D'Ubervilles" had smilies. Then we would be able to judge its tone a lot easier.
