I've also read of a recent study where people with verbal processing problems were proved to be far more likely to tell if someone was lying or not (the researcher said he got interested when a group he worked with kept laughing during a presidential debate a few years back).
Oliver Sacks said this about a group of aphasics laughing at a Ronald Reagan speech. (I don't make the news, I just report it.)
- Read an essay by Patricia McKillip a few years back where she
discussed something about this. Character A wants to put a love spell on character B. Before you can write this, she said, you have to decide what you mean by love.
I'd say, you have to decide what Character A means by love, it's irrelevant what YOU do.

PS--talking to people who give no non-verbal cues? It's called the Internet, actually, which is one factor in the frequency of flame wars.
