jeremisio

So someone came up with THIS. It does address the serious problem(and pet peeve of mine) of people using sarcasm on the Internet. Any great practitioner of sarcasm knows that it is less about the content of your words and more about the context of the situation and how you say it. While this does not change how you say it, it does tell the person you are talking to that you are being sarcastic. But I ask you dear SG friends if you need to tell someone that your are being sarcastic doesn't that mean you failed at sarcasm? This sarc mark is less an indicator and more an ideographic way of saying "not" after a sentence. example:

I think encouraging the overuse of sarcasm on the Internet is a great idea.......NOT

So save your 1.99 and just say "NOT" instead, it is the fiscally responsible thing to do.
