Yesterday I found someone who says “question mark” after every question and has apparently forgotten how to inflect their voice to express tone. It was horrifying, but I realized I’m not that different. I immediately think “cringe” or “based” at many things. Even when I’m not terminally online everything I hear gets put on a meme template by my brain. I’m having trouble expressing tone/emotion in writing without visual indicators like emojis or “/s.” I know I’m not alone, what do we do?

I pray for this to be an anglo custom that will never reach our shores. How do you even read a question and not inflict your voice inside your head? How do you even develop the custom of thinking and then saying out loud "question mark" instead of doing it the proper way?
