Final answer:

Replacing the word 'splashed' with 'typed' would make the excerpt less dramatic.


Explanation:

If the underlined word in the excerpt were replaced with the word typed, the tone of the excerpt would be less dramatic. This change would shift the emphasis from the sensationalism of 'splashed across' to the more neutral 'typed,' indicating a more matter-of-fact reporting style.
