I think I understand what you are saying. And I do see evidence of this in other situations then just this forum. It is just very frustrating at times. It can be VERY hard to understand someone with all of the clues. Its often as if half the meaning is missing, and then I am forced to work and try to understand. Perhaps if someone was to come up with a standard way to convey the non manual markers in text form. Is there any sort of conventions ? I have seen QQ used to signify question before , but I haven't seen any of the other markers. Or at least anything that I thought made sense.
Thank you for mentioning me in the same sentence as him. I really am not worthy of that. He was an artist. I am just a lazy deaf guy that clicks the submit button before a complete and proper proof read.
