Writing style
I think of Dan Zapruder and Scooter when I think of all things literary, because they are wizards in this area. I...I am a mere amateur hack.
This is what I am pondering, however.
In casual writing, be it e-mail, forum posts, letters, etc...is it truly possible to modify your style beyond recognition? Can one really manipulate cadence, intonation, inflection and technique to the point where they can convey a message using a mask? A disguise? Trickery, perhaps?
I believe professionals can do this. But...I'm thinking more along the lines of your average bear. Is this really possible? I believe if someone forced me to write an essay without being able to use my trusty stand-by, the ellipsis, I should self-immolate on the spot.
Comments? Feedback? Kang is most curious.

Note to readers:
My most humble apologizes for my abuse of the English language. It is late and I am lazy.
im not shure what your talikng about, but i dont think you can pretend to be somebody else whne you write. its really hard.
Very funny, DOCK.
I may have an answer to my question.
The answer is yes.
Thomas Jefferson was a master manipulator in his day, and used several pen names to attack his opposition.
When I through down in post or comments I do so wihout regard to form or convention. I usually only review what I have written after I his the "post" button.
Lazy ..... yes.
Very interesting.
What about people with an intellect lesser than Thos Jefferson? Possible?
*kang ponders but not much, as she is feeling unusually lazy today and her excursion to Brier Creek has addled her mind*
