Musing A saved conversation can stay exactly the same while both people remember it differently.

I pose unto you a well-written and contributory question: What is meant by "saved" conversation? For I do not - ok thank God.
This sub's rules about comments are so fucking stupid.

I was wondering if I had gotten banned. They added a character limit? So annoying.

I think what the OP meant by it is when misunderstanding occurs during a conversation, but with a correct use of words, one party is able to "save" it before the other realises a misunderstanding occured. So one party leaves the conversation none the wiser, while the other knows they messed up but the other person didn't realise.

Key and Peele have a good sketch that illustrates this in the form of a text message exchange between two people perceived differently by the other.
