            M. Sc., occasionally published science researcher and post graduate instructor.

            On top of missing sarcasm, kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.

            There is something wrong with me, lol.

              See, this right here, I’d have taken that as genuine. Why am I like this?

                I believe it was genuine and the person you responded to was messing with you or misunderstood. It does happen to the best of us, and the smiley face seems like a reassuring gesture.

                There are a lot of people like you, and it is why the use of /s is necessary, and in my opinion a good thing

                    Yeah, it’s frustrating that a lot of people don’t seem to get that, they just assume that how they interpret it is how everyone must see it
