Fantastic isn’t it? I know plenty of forum users here agree…
For those of us who wish that people understood our sarcasm, or for those who can’t understand it themselves…a good mate of mine is trying to develop an international punctuation mark to denote sarcasm.
Facebook users: http://www.facebook…. is a group to help this cause along. Check it out, join, invite your mates, and share your ideas!
I hate sarcasm…
(is he being sarcastic?)
Cheers
haha, thats funny. if we come up with a punctuation that we feel fits and the picture that we want to use to denote sarcasm i can add it. for example, if we want the following to happen i can do it.
whenever someone types |!| (or whatever) it could render to
(or whatever). i can also add it so that it shows up in the smiley bar.
add your suggestions…

What a brilliant idea.
VERY awesome.
Eurotrip Editor
Wow, that really is a good idea. (And no, I am not being sarcastic!)
Come on people, do you really need to explicitly tell when you are being sarcastic |!|
do we have any good designers in this crowd who could come up with a symbol for us?

G’Day Swill yeah check out the facebook group http://www.facebook…. there are already a few suggestions there and the avatar for the group seems to e the most popular.
For anyone who likes the symbol and/or the idea in general, please let as many people know as you can!
Thanks for your support
Cheers
But, if the reader can’t recognize when a reply is intended to be sarcastic, I guess I’m just not getting my point across:
Some German backpackers must have thought I was something of a nutter because they didn’t understand my use of sarcasm. Of course, it was too late by the time I’d figured it out.
