kirbymuncher 09/30/19 10:32:38 AM #46:	why's there no poll option for both since I definitely do it both in speech and writing online well, I definitely try to write similar to how I speak. italics or even bold for words I would normally emphasize vocalling in some way, throw in an ellipsis here and there, make weird run on sentences that would get said out loud all the time but just make it look like you didn't proofread while writing, etc. So I'm not too surprised I do both. I actually feel somewhat uncomfortable texting because I feel like you're less free with paragraphs / line spacing and also because without italics supported my only emphasis option is ALL CAPS which has a very different feel to it --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
