Oh, that's a deal breaker.

It usually is *sigh*
Hence the warning...

Again, teasing. I thought that's why we were all here! I have lots of problems, but I am going to handle what I can one by one and try to make the best of what I can't change! I think I am going to make part of my signature!

"There is no person on this planet who's life is perfect."
That's a pretty big assumption for someone who doesn't know every person on this planet. Maybe you mean "in YOUR opinion!!

"By saying someone else has problems... was simply a statement ." If you didn't mean it, why even say it?

I've lived a charmed life and have absolutely NO regrets. There's nothing I would do differently .NOTHING. At 65 I haven't got a problem on this planet or any other planet I've visited!
And, What do you know about "perfect?" I'm as perfect as I am.

Don't be so quick to make such judgements. To assume how another person perceives life by the way YOU perceive it , is a sign of a closed mind and shows only ignorance.(in my opinion)

Life works out best for those that make the best out of the way life works out!

Perhaps this is where I am going wrong...I don't know how to interpret tables!!

An excerpt from:
https://www.fastcodesign.com/3036748...ails-and-texts

"Let's start with message senders. A big problem people have when conveying digital emotions is often that they fail to appreciate there's a problem at all. In one experiment from a 2005 study, test participants emailed 10 statements to a recipient. Some statements were serious, some sarcastic. These senders believed the recipient would correctly identify the intended emotion behind most of the messages. In fact, the recipients only identified seriousness or sarcasm 56% of the time, which isn't much better than chance (below).

Let's say for the sake of discussion there is some validity to this table and the author didn't invent this statistic...

Does this mean that approx 56% of the time people think I am serious when I am actually funnin??

Also that study is old. Is an adjustment needed for inflation? A cost of humour allowance maybe? And what % would one use?!? I am getting the shakes!!

Good question. I'm never serious but my humor has a very sarcastic twist to it and is too often taken seriously. (Believe me... I have the infractions to prove it!!)
Ya just gotta go with what you've got and eventually others will "get you!"

Now, even when I TRY to be serious no one believes me! Go figure!

In fun??? and I've been talking seriously all this time!!! http://www.picturesanimations.com/3/3d_smileys/0251.gif

I seriously doubt that.

[middbrew]

Firstly if you believe that you have no problems in life that in itself is a problem. There is no person on this planet who's life is perfect. Second by saying someone else has problems was not meant to comfort in the least it was simply a statement .

I don't have any problems. Is that a problem?

It means that 56% of the time the person receiving the message interpreted the message tone correctly, regardless of the intent of the message. So, it means that when you are being funny, 56% of the time people understand you are being funny.

[middbrew]

Also that study is old. Is an adjustment needed for inflation? A cost of humour allowance maybe? And what % would one use?!? I am getting the shakes!!

It's not all that old considering there hasn't been anything new added or taken away from sending an email message. Therefore, no need to make an adjustment to the data for the difference in time.

Thank you for the clarification Middbrew!

[eiruvrav]

My apologies. It's said in fun!

white Z30 STA100-5

Why the need to apologize I've said many times here I take nothing written here personal and nothing I write here should be taken personally you gotta know how to read sarcasm in a post

[middbrew]

Thank you for the clarification Middbrew!

white Z30 STA100-5

You are most welcome.

[itsachickthing]

So if it's safe to say i don't need to worry that the percentage of understanding has changed over time, I just need to give consideration to what methods I can employ during those pesky 44% of occasions when humour/sarcasm vs serious could be misinterpreted - correct? Any suggestions?

[eiruvrav]
