No problem.

Technically we operating in a "reduced cues environment." All communication is ambiguous, and we resolve the ambiguity in the words by interpreting the other cues people give us: are they smiling or blushing, looking down or away, whistling or laughing, whispering or shouting? Some of my friends share such interpretive cues in their normal interactions: *looks concerned* (puzzled) or ~laughing~. The odd bits of punctuation help separate what you're saying from how you're saying it.

Start with the assumption that what you're about to say could be heard in one of three different ways, then consciously add the cue that allows your partner to more accurately apprehend your meaning.

Just a thought,
