A lot of it is the lack of body language and tone . I freely admit that in internet conversation, I have a hard time picking up sarcasm in American English sarcastic comments generally entail some degree of body language transmitting or signalingI've noticed Americans don't really "get" it when you use sarcastic understatement. They tend to say what they mean and mean what they say, and expect everyone else to do the same.
That or its just sampling bias. What do you think?
