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.

Are you really asking or are you being sarcastic?

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.

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

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
