minus-squareLuffy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoYou need to be clear with things like this. I am literally unable to understand sarcasm.
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoHow did you know that it was supposed to be sarcastic, then? You said they forgot the /s. How were you able to identify sarcasm if you can’t understand it?

minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoYou can infer sarcasm by context. Some of the best sarcasm has no change in tone; this is called “dry” sarcasm and is common in Britain, for example.
