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.

Transactionalized

The requirement that interactions between individuals, organizations, and similar be consistently good.
All media is transactionalized. Individual exchanges of value are transactions. But so is every conversation, every email, every experience you have. And the organizations that are responsible for those transactions are increasingly responsible for delivering a high value experience with every transaction. There are so many options for how people interact with media that every thing you do is important and meaningful. If you don’t deliver value, there is someone waiting in the wings who can, and your audience will find them.
