Some genius person has finally come up with a font for sarcasm. :D It is basically Italics but tilted the other way. By implementing this, it is now possible to post sarcastic comments on the internet without everyone getting confused :P

Nobody? I'm saying the concept takes away from sarcasm if it's used.

I'm going to have to agree on this one. I'm actually the type of person who will get half the sarcasm I see or hear. And do you know how people learn best? Through experience. If it was pointed out before hand people would never taunt you for your failure to see the sarcasm. For people who learn by experience such as myself, what better way to more fully understand sarcasm than by looking like an idiot in front of everyone?

It really helps to tell whether you are being sarcastic or not. Because, some people cannot be sure if that poster is being sarcastic, or trying to confuse the hell out of you.

That can come in handy for school papers, because my teachers don't get my sarcastic sense of humour. :rolleyes:
