You know, that's how I get away with it when speaking.. No one can see my words when I misspell them or use the wrong one!!



Context is also a part of communication.

In type, you should strive to be more clear, if anything, as there is not context of voice inflection, body language, etc.

It goes against the argument of subjectivity really.

In type, it much more easy to misunderstand something, hence, to be as clear as possible and non subjective with your words will open more doors then close them.

To acknowledge a joke makes one appear more human...:lol:...

Now rugadd is teasing me, and I am rolling with it...;)

But, I was was figuring that people should go more with what means, than which exact words one uses...

Cause we all make mistakes...:)

Even you, lol...:)

I'm starting to appreciate the use of smilies to help show the sentiment behind the words. ;)

Of course...

But if I think I'm clear, and as clear as I can be, and still not getting through, it can't be helped...

And, an individual should realize that not everyone is going to understand what someone else is saying so further questioning should be done...:)

Such as this...

Would you explain?

This is just another point where people get separated...

The "prickly" people, and the "goo" people....

I think I'll forgive Jestor this one time :P

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
