Hi Roger, hi Jon,
I never suggested that quotation = irony,
I suggested that quotation marks signals
an at least contestable term, if not being
ironised. Considerable difference.
As Jon has pointed out his post on ironicons
was marked with one. We need to to read more
carefully the detail, then nuance will become
available. Jon, I thought that you were ironising
the list, rather than the message that preceeded
it.
thanks for playing
People have before though, stated that reading irony on e-mail is
difficult. I still wonder why this might be so. Is it the textual
environment? Do we see details with the same senistivities here as we might
in a book?
love and love
cris
