A Letter

Notes, memos, letters, cards, postcards. I used to love getting a little note from a friend. It was great to think that someone actually took time out of their busy schedule to find some paper, write and then ensure it was delivered. E-mail. Impersonal, automated, cut and paste. How do you know the tone of an e-mail? Capitals define shouting. Defined by whom? Capitals could merely emphasise a word. Grammatical rules for e-mail now come in to play. A letter was always just so much more friendly and personal. I miss getting real mail.
