Texting, abbreviations and emoji, sentence 3
Because texts have no voice or face, capitals, emoji and abbreviations do the job of tone, and different people read them differently, so think about who you're texting.
Who acts: texts, capitals, different people, you, tone · What happens: have, do, read, think, text, job · To what, where: voice, job, capitals
