Do you find that some people just don't get what you mean sometimes?
Even on the Freeones Board there seems to be a problem with folk not being able to grasp what you're saying or doing. It's a shame as there are definitely some bright users on the Board but sometimes I just get the feeling that there's a distinct lack of comprehension particularly where irony and sarcasm are concerned.
I haven't made that many posts and I often struggle with my (written and read) English, which is my ****** tongue. But sometimes I write something with the best intentions and it's thrown back at me as though it were venom.
Is this a North American problem I'm encountering - the lack of sarcasm and irony? Sometimes when I'm reading through a thread I just feel that there are some people on the Board who haven't read a book or know what a passport is for...
Am I a terrible snob? Is this a problem encountered by other users? Do you find you hit a cultural brick wall again and again? Is it just me?
Fuck's sake. I feel like going into London tonight, ******** heavily and spoiling for fights!
Maybe I've just had a bad day...
