Sarcasm Punctuation Mark

Hey,that’s a really great idea and I’m sure it’s going to be a success. (embedcharcode-license:server-notfound)

Eh.

Hey wow great! That’s really going to catch on I’m sure. /sarcasm

Karl Marx had his own [!] which I quite like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm#Sarcasm_mark

Reminds me, somewhat, of the lecturer who was explaining that though a double negative makes a positive, a double positive doesn’t make a negative..

“Yeah, right.” came a call from the audience.

Oh, thank goodness! I’m sure all the moronic peons I communicate with will be able to interpret this new, elucidating symbol easily, rather than having to muddle through the extra 11 letters it takes to write “note sarcasm,” or– heavens forbid– utilize reading comprehension.

if they really misunderstand, maybe wey can follow it up with an actual phone call….remember that folks. the way we used to communicate. our social skills are going down the drain. /sarcastic

This will be very useful because no one can tell when I’m being sarcastic.

N.B. sarcasm irony

I don’t get it. How is that symbol supposed to represent sarcasm? Is it supposed to be a smiley face upside down? The interrobang which was a combination of ! and ? made sense. Of course, it didn’t catch on..

That looks a lot like an upside down Peh (the letter responsible for the “p” sound in the Hebrew language).

Charging for the privilege of using an ultimately superfluous form of punctuation with no existing cultural significance is a great way to ensure cultural penetration of their symbol.

This is a joke right?
“SarcMark – Tell them how you really feel”

Here’s how I really feel about this: ,,!,,
Mark that.

(Btw, it you wanted to tell someone how you really feel you wouldn’t be using sarcasm in the first place.)

I’m still planning on petitioning the W3C to include and tags in the standard. Maybe bold backwards italics or something….

What a ~great idea… … I use tildes. They express my sarcasm for me.

People,

It costs $1.99 to download.

That can’t possibly catch on. Bad design. It looks too much like the @ symbol and when hand written will always be confused for that. Also a bad idea to place a dot so close to the lines. A dot works on letters where it is clearly separate from the rest of the letter (i,j) Try to put a dot in the middle of an m and you`re asking for trouble.

Its very silly. Some people don’t seem to realize that there ARE things you can’t copyright or patent. Punctuation falls into that catagory.

I’ve been using # and # like quotation marks to denote sarcasm.
