        … He was implying that you may very likely have no idea that you’re missing implicit statements and sarcasm, because you’re, well, missing it.

        The main meaning is still there and most of the time, nothing happens if you miss the implicit or sarcastic meaning, so it’s very likely you’ll never notice you missed it.

        You actually have no real way of knowing if you are good or bad at picking up implicit/sarcastic meanings, because you would have to check each and every statement and depend on whoever you’re checking with to be truthful and/or good at picking up thesr statements as well. If you don’t do that and just go from your own experience, it’s actually impossible for you to tell how good you are.

        It’s kind of funny that I have to explain this because this is a perfect example of you missing the implicit meaning, right within a discussion of the topic.
