Well, so what, if it is true or not?

 

They are WRONG!

 

Talk does have intonational patterns, and some of the writers during

the past 50 years have USED those intonational markers.

 

AND, since the innovation of NLP, and of covert hypnosis, many

others are starting to use them...

 

WHY? Because they MAKE SENSE!

 

For example, in the subject line, the BOLD was to attract the

attention and the meaning to the word NOT so it would NEGATE and DEMINISH the

following word.

 

If I'd left that word in small letters ie not, then the emphasis

would (most likely) be on an incorrect meaning for what I REALLY MEANT that

follows it, yelling.

 

And there are OTHER ways!

 

....they are using those other ways in CONTEXT, in sequences, etc.

 

And TAKE A LOOK at how GOOD MARKETERS use BOLD, use quotes, use..., use

underlinings, blab, blab, to get THEIR POINTS of emotion across.

to the reader to determine what the message means to them and what

the goal is. Perspective is a personal thing and we, many times, do

not understand the true meaning of the e-mail. There are alos many

times when the original goal of the e-mail is to enflame. It is

interesting to see how people react to words in an e-mail. It really

shows the true self(s) of both the writer of the original mail and

the responder.
