Adding to A.T Catmus answer, mental communications could have a sort of "flavour". As humans we are able to determine emotions of a speaker only judging by a spoken sentence; thoughts could be treated in the same way. After all, probably a part of one own emotions gets carried with the message itself. Since humans are social animals, we are designed to recognize and react in front of emotions, so:

> _I'm telling you, I didn't do it._ Bob's thoughts reverberated with force into Greg's head, making his teeth grind by reflex.
> 
> _Don't go shouting in my head._ He coldly answered with slight annoyance. But then a rush of guilt struck him; given Bob's situation, he had a lot of reasons to be angry. Reprimanding him for being rude wasn't going to help. _I know you're stressed, but I had to make sure._ he added, trying to convey consideration.
> 
> _Still, things are gonna go south for me._ Bob's bleak answer showed that his attempt only had partial success.
