And face to face is better? It is called divorce, you know that one!!! Wars have started because inflection or tone were misinterpreted. Just because all we have are written words does not make communication worse, it makes it harder, but still things can be said wrong face to face. Trust me. I am married to someone who looks for the worst way to say almost everything. I have worked for 20 years to realize he does not mean most of what comes out of his mouth. I will spend the next 20 trying to get him to rethink his choice of words to me. sheila Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Communication is becoming a lost art, or to be more accurate correct communication between humans is becoming a lost art ( perhaps we should be more like dogs and sniff each other...okay strike that last comment..lol)....sitting here alone typing on this computer speaking to how ever many of you that don't delete my e-mails is a poor way to communicate! accurate communication has many components, tone, voice infliction, facial expression, volume (loud or soft voice) etc....your words are only a part of the message...and that's whats wrong with talking on the computer...many times, far too many times the message is interrupted incorrectly by the receiver....at times we have all been misunderstood on this list......sometimes I think e-mails set us back as a human race....although the good thing about e-mail is that I can sit here and talk to you in my underwear!...lol....7 more days...lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
