Ahoy, it happens a lot in emails, English is a tough language and many times your viewpoint is not understood by the other parties. Then you get the "Please explain remark"

Communication requires more that just the written word that we see. We use all the senses sound,
smell. touch and taste all subconsciously . Just one medium is open to enormous misinterpretation and I agree the English language is difficult especially emails and texts where abbreviation exists. Yes am guilty of sending messages to the wrong person...:shame::(

In PM's i have made the mistake of saying something that i wished i had not put in a certain context as i realised that it made me look a pratt but then i am often told i think too much. I try and have written and rewritten sometimes 3 x a para if i am not happy and sometimes deleted it entirely. God forbid i ever send a PM to the wrong person :eek:

I think you'll find that was intended for me. Didn't want you learning about our torrid affair this way, dear, but in a way I'm relieved it's all out in the open. It was never going to work out between us, I'm sure you realised that too. You can run back to FB2 and romp in the non-GM canola together just like old times.

I agree Cruiser...I am guilty of "over thinking" and make things much worse...and communicating something important or delicate in a PM can be dangerous :eek:
