When your only medium of communication is text, it's sometimes hard to tell if people are joking. We've all experienced misunderstandings because of this but how much worse could it be? Do you have an easy time recognizing satire or irony from context alone? Would you know sarcasm if it bit you on the ass? Rate your ability to spot the intent behind a piece of text. 1 through 10 with 1 being utter cluelessness and 10 being laser-like piercing discernment.
