h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hiya,

Had a reminder of just how one-dimentional the Internet is.I always try to make very clear what I mean while writing an E' or while talking to someone through the computer; the medium being what it is doesn't take kindly to half-said sentences or interpretations of words. One must be as accurate as possible, or when something is said in fun or with a smile, put a "smilly" in to make sure that the person on the receiving end knows that the remark was made in fun. A word can be both a tool and a weapon and it is a pity if a conversation gets ended because one of the two partners got the wrong impression about something that was said. This can sometimes be even harder than translating a texts with betraying the real meaning behind a word or a sentence, an article or a posting. let us all take care when we go on line and join into a convo or reply to an article...
