It could happen anytime, everywhere... So easy to trigger miscommunication, via SmS (Easiest), Msn, Blogging and so forth....All those that doesn't include voice communication is the easiest to trigger it... Just read it from the net, it is call "Type-Base" and "Talk-Base", those that doesn't include voice contact is called "Type-Based" communication...
Life is so much simple with technology and Internet but it gets complicated too...
May be the message you sent doesn't mean it that way, but people would think the other way round with that message... In the end you kena backfired by ur own message, or get scolding out of nowhere.... Let's say your lover or your friend wear until very nice today, out of nowhere you give him a complement to express urself...
A : Wow, you looked so nice today....
B: Oh really?? Means all those days I don't look nice la??
A : Eh no la, I don't mean that...
Sometimes all it takes is jus a chat over phone, or a conversation face to face, but because of distance and reluctant-ness; instead of solving things, matters just get worst...
Words could be a dangerous weapon, I'm always trying to learn and improve myself on how to use words so that I won't hurt others and myself...
I'm very scare of miscommunication and misunderstanding, so whenever I feel things are not going the correct direction, I'll try to talk over the phone or meet up to clear away the misunderstandings... Not that I'm thinking too much, but prevention is better than cure....
So do you have any miscommunication experience before??

my case is not miscommunications.. but more to different 'channel/frequency'..;p talking stuff n styles are totally different.. LOL
I have those experience too... But it doesnt matter to me if they misunderstand me. They misunderstand for sumthing not nice bcos they chose to view it in just 1 angle. If they are able to see things in diff angles(positive angles), there would be less of a mess. We sometimes overlook other angles due to our ignorance and lack of awareness.
IM can be a source of strife. The tone is not there. The context may be out. Dangerous!
ur example is kinda weak.
Let's use my example,k.
A and B are best buds but suddenly A starts to become distant and unfrenly towards B cos A is busy with uni and other stuff.B starts to over analyze the situation and starts having negative thoughts and B also starts to boh layan A.
Slowly,the relationship between A and B starts to fray and from being best buddies,they become strangers.
Just becos A's unwillingness to explain the whole situation to B,a friendship is wasted.
Kinda sad,don't u think?
Ya ya, miscommunication happens a lot especially through electronic means of communication.
But sometimes I just do not have the feeling to talk things out because really beh song.
Although I know that it may be the only way to fix the misunderstanding
