That's their problem, though!
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoWell…I found it to be? One can put as many disclaimers as one wants on something, but Michael Bluth will always be right in being a tad confused as to why there was a dead dove in his fridge.
- wilg 3y agoYeah, well, only so much you can do. Tone is subjective.
- santoshalper 3y agoNot really. How much you care about tone is certainly personal, but it's extremely easy to consistently analyze tone and sentiment from written or spoken text. This stuff is not mysterious.
- wilg 3y agoThe conversation is about whether the tone is appropriate, not whether it is parseable.
- thaumaturgy 3y agoTone is not subjective? I had no problem with the writing style of the article and wouldn't've even noticed it were it not for this thread. Even after reading the couple of complaints about it, I still prefer it to the endlessly dry, academic monotone that HN promotes.
