Mind you, I can see how some people come to that conclusion. The way I use the English language to make it say the things I want to say is somewhat different from how native speakers write.

The day there is no snark at all in TET is the day that something is very, very wrong.

You make your points just fine.

One of the things about this thread that impresses me is how well the non native English speakers understand the idioms of the language.
