Do you ever wonder how your written word in all the various mediums it may be presented is "heard" by the reader?

Intonation is not present in written words such as the ones you are reading now. The reader supplies those for the most part. There are some tricks that can be played with the font and italics and bold letters, but the reader hears the words with their voice and not the writer’s.
“It killed him” can be read many different ways meaning literal death to figurative death from laughing, for example.
Are you careful how you write knowing you can’t be there to read out loud to your recipient?
Does this enter your mind?
