Specific terms would have been nice, but that wasn't what I wanted, no.
What did you want? I'm curious.
(The fragment made sense to me, because as a fragment it implied a tone of voice to me that has a particular meaning when used IRL. I can see why you didn't see that, though.)
rohina:
Well, the implied "tone of voice" you identify isn't really a concept that other people might discern by reading.
rufio:
Actually, your lack of inner voice is fairly nonstandard.

My point, you ridiculous tosspot, is that "this is how it sounds to MY inner voice" is a bullshit statement as far as meaning anything to anyone else is concerned. Because guess why? NO ONE CAN HEAR RUFIO'S INNER VOICE, EXCEPT RUFIO.
Also, "lack of inner voice" is complete misrepresentation. I said I didn't HAVE to hear stuff in my head. No that I couldn't.
rufio:
The structure (and any number of semantic cues) imply the tone of voice, generally.
In any case, that part was in parentheses because it was not the main part of my post. What did you want to hear from the little quiz you gave me?
