Sarcasm

I think someone won't talk to me anymore because I thought she was being sarcastic when she really wasn't.

She wrote something totally out of line and then ended her thought with "Fabulous."

Why do you think this is not being sarcastic?

I'd have to know exactly what she said to determine if it was sarcastic or not, but either way, why do you care? If someone wont talk to you that's their loss.

She said something about what a girl and a guy's relationship is usually like Mark.

Sorry Lesley. I can't get any more details.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:00 am

Charlie, what do you think it means?

Are you really asking or are you being sarcastic?

No, I am not being sarcastic Mark.

Was she instead being ironic?

I don't know Hugh.

I reckon it was a sardonic statement.

Could English be more complicated than I think?

I think it probably is, Jason.

Why do they call Countdown such a simple game then?

Who's they? Countdown, like most good games, is simple to play but hard to master but also, it doesn't require an understanding of all the nuances of the English language to play. You don't even have to know what the words mean.

I'm talking about the whole British population Mark.

Countdown isn't about English; it's about English words.

Apart from the ones that don't speak English.

Do you suppose there are foreign people who have heard of Countdown?

Have you heard of Countdown?

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Thu Sep 01, 2011 9:03 pm

Yes, but what about the other people outside of Britain?

There are other people outside of Britain?!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:07 am

Oh, that's right, thank you Damian Eadie!

There were foreign fans who heard my e-mail being read out, of course!

Sorry to bump this thread unnecessarily but it is the only way I can shoe horn in new topics.
Scrabble enthusiasts can get audience tickets for two recordings of a Scrabble based quiz show being recorded early next month.
I am on Sroaudience website and just got an alert.
Ciao for now
