I really like to chat on msn, and i find that i talk on it almost every day. but ive always liked talking on the phone a little bit more, just because msn can cause so much confusion! for one thing, uhm, nobody understands if youre being sarcastic or not. it can be pretty annoying to not understand sarcasm, although i guess its kind of dumb for you to expect them to get that its sarcasm. still though! ive actually gotten into arguments with people over msn just because they dont understand your tone of voice at all. also it can be pretty confusing if people are miss-spelling things and you really dont know what the on earth they are talking about. Another thing that seems a little bit sketchy about msn is that its not very private and people can so easily lie or be sneaky over msn. for example, if you dont want to look dumb in front of someone and they say "do you even know what that means?" you can so easily type it into google and pretend like you know exactly what it means, and always have. So many people will also paste a conversation over to let you in on another "private" conversation theyre having with someone else. its very sneaky! not to mention you never know who else is around while theyre talking to you. its really not very private at all! I do love msn, but still i always try to remember that it cant be trusted, and it really isnt that private at all.

Hey, no jokes, eh? I was literally JUST talking to Ryan, and all I said was "okay" and he's like "I can hear that tone from all the way over here, Missy" And I didn't know if he was serious or joking, and he didn't know if I was serious or joking. Confusing!
I can also empathize, as I am quite sarcastic and am always misunderstood even when people do hear my tone. MSNer beware!
