    This is why I’m sure spoken English and written English are two different languages. Information is carried through vocal emphasis that the standard alphabet doesn’t contain symbols for. Online we often resort to bold or italics or allcaps, whatever is available.

      Very much so. Ever had a misunderstanding while texting someone? The vocal emphasis is missing.
