man invents sarcasm punctuation mark, sells it on internet

[url]http://02d9656.netsoljsp.com/SarcMark/modules/user/commonfiles/loadhome.do[/url] I'd say it's time for open source punctuation, shouldn't sell it for money

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Firefox 3 Sarcasm is the lowest form of whit, and it doesn't take a -blam!- mark to realize someone is typing sarcastically. [/quote] That's a good observation. Now how do you know wether or not I'm being sarcastic about that? I could be making fun of your obviousness, or I could really think that that was a good observation. A "sarkmaek" might have helped there.

  • 1. OMG THAT IS soo cool looking!! 2. I can't wait to use it every forum that allows special characters! Most do, right? 3. That punctuation mark doesn't defeat the point of sarcasm at all!

  • Although I like the idea of a sarcasm mark... 1. It shouldn't be necessary. Your diction should be enough to convey sarcasm 2. It shouldn't cost moneyz.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Top_Gun_2021 The game is afoot. Everyone try to create the internet standard notation for sarcasm. [/quote] I'm kinda onboard with Navaha's "@.", but we could also use something like "|\" [since they're the same key, for quick input].

  • Couldn't a cheapass just use "@." instead of a sarcmark? I mean, it looks the same@. EDIT: -blam!- the default B.Net font! There's a . after the @. [Edited on 01.15.2010 1:35 PM PST]

  • That's so incredibly retarded. Half the fun of sarcasm is that id you do it well enough, the person may not even realize you're doing it.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coolmike699 Problem is, it's the Internet. Without hearing a tone of voice, it can be hard to infer the correct meaning, especially with sarcasm. I actually think it's a kind of good idea. Kind of. [/quote][sarcmark]

  • If it were usable online, I'd be all over it. I'm way too sarcastic and sarcasm doesn't translate well through text, unfortunately.
