When I’m feeling snarky, I will sometimes respond to this sort of thing with some variant of “That response only makes sense to me if I assume what I actually said was something more like X. Is that what you heard?” The sorts of people who skew my output on input frequently respond to that in entertaining ways.
I’ve occasionally done that in text, now that you mention it. My in-person verbal comprehension has such a high latency that I can’t really do it there. (by the time I’ve worked it out the conversation has moved on) Pre-caching expected misinterpretations may help, if I can anticipate them accurately enough.
