Face to face communication is a million miles apart from the written word and can be perceived as harsh sometimes.
If your asked a question that requires a simple YES as the reply,that can come across harsh!....so we would write or say Yeah to soften it.
But it intrigues me how we are happy to say for eg "feck it" in a post(just seen it on one) and we're all ok with that,and 100% know the letter E is actually the letter U.
I'm genuinely interested how we use language and how it comes across.
