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?

Re: Sarcasm
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.

Re: Sarcasm
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.Jason Larsen wrote:Why do they call Countdown such a simple game then?

Oh, that's right, thank you Damian Eadie!
There were foreign fans who heard my e-mail being read out, of course!
