Be resonable Crunchy.
Yes, there are lots of words that could be used, but IF and it's only an if, they are concerned that the person they are writing to are a bit 'simple', they might feel the need to explain what they're saying, rather than hoping you can read between the lines.

No, you know what I mean, the chances are, in real life, you'd know they were joking (if indeed what they're saying is funny).

I just think you should give them a break in the initial exchanges, just so you can identify when and where they're joking, so you can establish common ground.

Or is that unresonable?

to be fair, it's not like there are many, I'm not exactly fending them off with a shitty stick

Lose the Sci-fi stuff!
And my 'experience' of drinking with teachers.... Most of them try and talk to their mates like the talk to their students.
