Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
So? The meaning can nearly always be infered from the context. It takes little time to figure out how a person uses smileys that you are chatting with.

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
yes, but it doesn't have the emotional connections of a tone of voice. it's learned.

Re: OT: Rant & Thoughts - Chats and Emails
I'll go for some good offline time anyday. As somebody who moved to the other side of the world from my family/friends (don't ask me, it seemed like a good idea at the time) I have found I rarely talk to any of my old buddies Online much at all. Of course, every time I go home for a visit it is a great time, but it is just different talking to them Online.
Now my parents on the other hand, I would rather talk to them Online, a question comes up I don't want to answer? I have to step out....
