Nuance, undertones, rhetorical questions may as well as not exist for some of these good fellows. I must remind myself that even though someone (many someones) might lack in this department, that doesn’t mean they aren’t brighter than me in many other things.
I am curious though. How, if you are aware of this, do you watch spy, palace intrigue, double agent, psychological movies? Isn’t it detrimental to fully enjoy the acting and reading actors expressions and nuances? I guess you wouldn’t be aware that you are missing full experience?

It’s not about me by the way, it is from the perspective of a spectator, a lurker and not about me receiving some kind of response.
One wonders how much of this is down to the proportion of people on here for whom English is not their first language.

Can’t imagine that situation is much different for others.
