[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've learned to say: I texted with Mary. Or emailed with Mary., to avoid confusion. Actually speaking to someone can make a difference in terms of depth of understanding of a situation or issue. It also implies an actual conversation. Too many times things are misconstrued or not that clear via text and to a lesser degree with email.[/quote] Would you then say something like “she said” or does that imply a spoken conversation? Or would you always say “she typed” or “she also texted,” etc?[/quote] I agree with the first quoted person above. To answer your question if you established that it was an email communication and you said “she said” it is established that it was via email. So in that case context matters.[/quote]
