The written word is great because it is different than the spoken. The style fits the media by nature.
And I believe we are fooling ourselves if we say that there are not subtle judgements at play as we percieve someone in person.
I mean what I say either way, but the wording is bound to change online. The abscence of tone and body language, for example. How often do we run into communication difficulties online because we aren't sure of the speaker's intent?
Come to think of it, a verbal edit- before you speak capability would greatly enhance my interpersonal communication. Yes I know that's called thinking before one speaks, but I still put my foot in my mouth occasionally.
