Problems with the language

These are some problems I have with language. Sarcasm and facetiousness confuse me. I embellish and speak in hyperbole too frequently. I am amused by sardonic language, and satire. I have to thank my spanish-based bilingual upbringing for this... or perhaps some deep chasm of mental competency.
