Lost in BBM Translation

When a BBM can be misinterpreted for reasons being but not limited to: one of the words used has multiple meanings, verbal inflection and affect is often absent over BBM, possible misuse of an emoticon or exclamation mark, or because of incorrect capitalization of a word. It happens when you're bbming with someone and realize that what you wrote was interpreted to mean the exact opposite of what you are trying to convey after the person responds in an unforseen tone. It can often lead to finding something funnier or more serious than the message should be or can possibly result in crazy frustration.
Girl 1 told Vman that he did the right thing by choosing to pursue things with girl 2 instead of her. However, girl 1 meant "right" to mean rational/more moral, but not to mean correct/more suitable, because she knows that she is so much better for him, more compatible, more amazing, and his true love. Girl 1 realized that what she meant was lost in BBM Translation after Vman responded in a displeased tone and thought what she wrote meant that she was already over him.

Guy 1: look at all these stupid people with a-bbm-ophobia thinking sending out a broadcast message from some spammer is somehow going to magically fix RIM's network.

Guy 2: *sends broadcast*

Guy 1: We're not friends anymore.

BBMOAT

Chris: Hey, I was trying to think of a name for that large trench I dug around my home and then filled with little metal spherical pellets...
Peter: BBMOAT!
Chris: Thanks, that's a great suggestion!...oh, I was also trying to remember the name of that new jazz/blues guitarist who had named himself after that old guitarist who had a similar style...
Peter: BBMOAT!
Chris: Thanks man! That's right! Oh, do you remember what my stuttering, ebonics-speaking neighbor said to me last year when he suggested that I be a ditch for Halloween?
Peter: BBMOAT!
Chris: Oh yeah! Thanks a lot. Oh, I wanted to apologize for last week when I visited the city that you live in, was there for a week, neglected to call you when I got there even though I had previously said I would, and then when you finally got in touch with me, refused to come hang with me because it was 'too far'.
Peter: Oh yeah...that was a pretty bitch move.
