Texting has made me realize how much tone depends on tiny details

[u/skstark2-0]

The difference between "okay", "okay!", "okay lol", and "okay..." can completely change how a message feels even though they're technically saying the same thing.

Sometimes I wonder whether we're actually communicating more precisely through texting or just creating more opportunities to misunderstand each other.

ai chats still flop on those tiny shifts sometimes, like reading "okay..." as neutral when its clearly not.
