With the Internet comes tremendous ability to quickly communicate with those around you, despite the distance. Unfortunately others can not see your face or catch your tone unless you are using video conferencing, for example. So you have to rely on text and how you put your words together to get your intended meaning across.
For example, all CAPITALS in an E-mail means you are screaming or upset. You could actually hit the CAPS lock on the keyboard and start typing in CAPITALS. You may say, what's the problem - I won't fix this, and send the message as is. Yet the receiver may think you are in a sour mood or worse, mad at them.
You have to be careful when you are joking so the the receiver knows that you are actually joking. Things like putting LOL (laugh out loud) or a smiley face :) can help the receiver know that this is meant to be funny.
So be careful how you type so that the receiver does not get the wrong idea.
