Albeit there is an echo-effect in the back of my head, content interpretation (for me) is non-vocal, but rather abstract; and as such, there isn't much tone difference between sources. I do, however, multiply everything being said by the merit of sources.
Absolutely. I especially "use the general tone of the person writing if you happen to know them?". And if I don't know them... all bets are off and I read as _I_ would use those words.
Another question: have you ever decided on a tone for a particular writer and then much later saw a video of the person talking which completely blew away all of your assumptions?
Do you mentally dictate the content of what you're reading?
Do you have a general tone for content of suspicious origin?
Do you have a general tone for content of trusted origin?
Do you use the general tone of the person writing if you happen to know them?
What other markers influence your tendency to switch tones?
