Hi,
If someone sent me an email which stated:
1. "Wayne, did you not remember what we spoke about?"
versus
2. "Did you not remember what we spoke about, Wayne?"
Is the structure in the #2 example above express more dissatisfaction? With pause of the comma followed by name, and I read it as more personal.
Thank you,
Wayne.
