    The English language is capable of endless nuance. If you can’t convey tone, just get better at writing.

    You also shouldn’t get in the habit of undercutting everything you say. It’s ok to say something and mean it. If you don’t take yourself seriously, other people won’t take you seriously.

    Besides, when you are joking, it’s funnier when you don’t wink. Winking is for suckers.
