<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2641624, member: 56859&quot;]Isn&#039;t it sad that even though in this modern world we have more ways to communicate with one another than ever before, yet <i>understanding</i> seems decrease with every technologic advance?</p><p><br /></p><p>Even emojis don&#039;t always help.&nbsp; Steve, for instance, uses the &quot;Roll Eyes&quot; icon to indicate that he&#039;s looking up at the post above; to me that emoji means &quot;Oh good god not <i>this</i> again&quot;, or something like that.&nbsp; It took a while to understand Steve&#039;s intended meaning and I bet some people are misinterpreting his use of the eyerolling icon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, Ro frequently uses the &quot;Facepalm&quot; emoji.&nbsp; To me, &quot;facepalm&quot;&nbsp; means &quot;D&#039;oh!&nbsp; I can&#039;t believe I&#039;m (he&#039;s/she&#039;s) such an idiot!&quot;, or &quot;Phew!!&quot;.&nbsp; Surely that isn&#039;t what he means by it, at least most of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many posters here on CoinTalk are not native English speakers, maybe not even their second or third language.&nbsp; I applaud their efforts to communicate in an unfamiliar language-- I couldn&#039;t do that.&nbsp; It does make for misunderstandings though and in Ro&#039;s case, I think this has some bearing on why he doesn&#039;t receive as much attention as he&#039;d like.&nbsp; Many times I&#039;m not sure what he means or is asking so I shrug and move along, unable to comment when I don&#039;t understand the post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Effective communication is not easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
