Everything's Literal Now
-
In 2013, especially because of social media, you have to be really, really careful with everything you say, because things like context and subtlety and sarcasm are just not going to be understood. Take this teacher who's being accused of making threats on students' lives because, in frustration over kids acting up in class, she posted on Facebook, "I can just kill these kids." It's nothing teachers haven't said out loud to their friends for centuries, but put it in writing where everyone can see it and it becomes a criminal investigation and cause for ending a career.
