Sure, but is what I asked not valid? I asked some questions, and said I was confused by their statement. If anything, I acknowledged this, which is why I wrote "Language Server Protocol" and not just the acronym LSP that they had to look up.

Did I mess this up?

Yes, your first sentence can easily be read as (I am only exaggerating slightly) “how can you be so stupid to ask the obvious?” Short form online communication is hard.

Indeed, I'll have to work to soften my tone next time. Appreciated! And here I thought I was doing well by not just using the LSP acronym lol.

the way your start the sentence implies that it's impossible for this person to not know what Language Server Protocol, leading to your confusion
