Specifically:
In a study in the December Journal of Personality and Social
Psychology (Vol. 89, No. 5, pages 925-936), they find that people
overestimate both their ability to convey their intended tone-be it
sarcastic, serious or funny?when they send an e-mail, as well as their
ability to correctly interpret the tone of messages others send to
them.
That is why I am always trying to approach similar problematic
emails from the "light" side ;-)
