Also anything you write sarcastically via text message. Sarcasm and sms dont mix. Consider these:
- You love me? Then why dont you marry me? (Add childish sarcasm = completely different meaning)
- Yeah. I'm gonna do that. (Sounds affirmative in sms, but completely opposite meaning in speech with sarcasm.)
- I'm never sarcastic (lay on the sarcasm when you say this one! unfortunatly, in an sms it's very ambiguous)
CONCLUSION: Dont use sarcasm in emails/text messages.
