Concerning voice tone meaning. I am curious on how these words apply when writing. The word tone to me means anger happy sad and such because I would understand these words spoken but instead they are written. The word voice confuses me. What relation does voice have other than speaking? And meaning, does not the words themselves have meaning plus there synonyms? Example "the cat sat on the mat". how can anyone misunderstand the meaning of this sentence.
To me cat sat mat are noun verb and noun. The on the are necessary to complete the sentence. It would seem I write the way I speak. I do English a disservice because I learned it (my way) and not the way teachers teach it. Verbs nouns and such I do not understand. I am for sentence structure more than syntax. I use the language from what I have read and understood. I also have a language understanding problem, I think it's called a comprehension reading problem. I do not know how to overcome it. This is the best I can do. Paul
