Is just another way to say you need better reading comprehension. Buy a bunch of books and read them. Humanity hasn't had tone get lost in text for thousands of years until suddenly it's a problem for a small group of people on the internet.
What a polite and constructive comment.
"A bunch of books"... Resoundingly low effort, friend. Have a great day ๐
You do know what a book is, right?
Ah yes, because professional writers, classical poets, authors of the most famous works of history, and random people posting from their toilets on the internet are all equally good at conveying nuance and non-verbal cues.
They don't even realize the absurdity of the example. I'd wager that after spouse and/or deity, you can ask the world's top 10 writers who their favorite person is and they'll name their editors/someone of significance to the revision process (we know or can guess at least one reason to revise text, eh?)
We're so bad at gauging tone throughout text that wars have sparked, entire industries eat, and people make a living on precisely how to phrase things in official writing. But no, Internet commenter says just grab random books and go to town y'all ๐คฃ
I'm not sorry if you're unable to grasp context. That's a you problem.
And false equivalence is yours!
.ml definitely knows all about false equivences, that's for sure.
And your trolls are fairly low effort!
