Has anyone ever left a humorous comment only to have some respond back in a dead serious fashion? I always find this odd. I don't expect them to share my humour but surely can't they detect it was left in jest?
Does this happen to anyone else?
Oh, sure. It's happened to me and - occasionally - I've done it to other people. That's just one of the hazards of written communication with strangers, I think.
spot on ,
Some people dont realise that when the comment they have in their head is converted to text it may lose some of its nuance.
Yeah. The intended tone can sometimes be lost.
Also, different individuals with different senses of humour, tastes, life experiences, &c, from different places with different cultures. The only surprise is that it doesn't happen more often than it does.
I know my distinctly dry, British sense of humour sometimes fails spectacularly with Americans. And then sometimes it doesn't. It's just one of those things we have to navigate. No big deal.
Sometimes.
