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?

Truth be told, irony, sarcasm and nuance, are quite hard to do in a text format without being explicit. Hell, that’s the main reason emojis exist, to replace the facial gestures and tone of voice we use to cue each other in on subtle aspects of language like sarcasm.
