Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I feel like a major unacknowledged aspect of Why The Internet & Social Media Are Frequently Terrible is that written communication is a *skill* - or a set of skills, rather - where you can't progress if you don't acknowledge that fact.

ANYWAY. I'm not going anywhere particular with this; it just bugs me that writing is so often undervalued as a skill that even when - or maybe because - most of us do some form of it every day, it's not viewed as something you can be meaningfully bad or good at outside of books.

I tend to use emojis as end characters exactly for this reason: because I want to be sure my intended tone carries over. See also: why I have phone anxiety (I can’t see faces so I don’t know if I’m being misinterpreted).
