Quite.
Perhaps I should have been less subtle than opening with a 'Heh', and made it clear the claim that only the messaging & connection parts were failing was tongue-in-cheek.
This page's title is "Slack is down" but Slack's status page at the time was modestly conceding that "Something's not quite right".
- interestica 6y agoIt's interesting because the sarcasm came through for me and only because you said "they do say" rather than "they say" - a subtle difference that is probably odd to convey to non-English speakers.
- labster 6y agoOh, that is interesting. I understood the sarcasm there as well but it's difficult to say why it is present. I guess because "do" implies a second, unsaid category "do not". I wonder if there's a Language Log entry on this.
- quickthrower2 6y agoSorry! A /r/whoosh moment. Good sarcasm.
