Use emoticons to express your tone
In online communication, visual and auditory cues are replaced by emoticons, for example, smiles, winks, and laughter. It helps to use emoticons to convey your tone. Additionally, if you like the person, tell them! Having a conflict or misunderstanding doesn’t mean you don’t like the person any more, but people often forget that reality, or don’t think to say it. It may be most needed during a tense interaction.



What can I say?

...Virgin Acrylic

Isn't that the low-fare airline to London I keep hearing advertise on the radio?

PS. But seriously, I think they're trying to differentiate themselves from "reprocessed acrylic." Sound reasonable?

...Recycled acrylic can be weaker due to additives and impurities in the material.
