Asking others what they really mean, and why, in some more detail, is underrated. Just saying.

@J12t This is a good point, yes (though feels ironic to conclude it with ‘just saying’, since that’s exactly what you’re suggesting moving beyond!).

@J12t Ha! This reminds me of the most perfect riposte I've heard of, when a Brit was regaling an American...

Brit: "The problem with you Americans is you don't get irony..."
American: "Why, what's irony...?"
Brit [starts to explain the meaning of irony]
American [raises one eyebrow]
