The Rules
Posts must be:

It is technically ambiguous, yes. But given the context, it was not, and people have proven it to you by telling you they got it, and you did not. Simple as that. I added emphasis here to help you as well. 👌
I'm not saying you or anyone else has Asperger's or any other diagnosis, I'm just saying. There's a spectrum. Some people can't read tone very well in writing. And I'm not saying you were bad at English. Just that you didn't pick up on the tone, or assign the right meaning to the word given the context. You do seem to interpret things out of proportion, I can't lie. 🤨 This seems to be a sensitive topic for you, like understanding English and language sort of defines you in some way. Probably given your education and academic success. Sorry to say you weren't able to perform in this situation, but it is what it is.
You can doubt all you want, but do research of you want the truth. I don't know the truth myself here, so... I do have a feeling it's pretty common to be somewhere along the spectrum, even if it's just a little tiny bit.
For the record, I was very aware of how what I wrote came off.
Have a good day.
