How Come: We Need Punctuation for Sarcasm?

Posted by Carlo on 1/13/10 at 3:14 pm

The internet is ABLAZE today over this monumental breakthrough in written english communication I’d like to introduce you to the SarcMark

Stupid Idea? Think About It!

With the spoken word, we use our tone, inflection and volume to question, exclaim and convey our feelings. The written word has question marks and exclamation points to document those thoughts, BUT sarcasm has NOTHING! In today’s world with increasing commentary, debate and rhetoric, what better time could there be than NOW, to ensure that no sarcastic message, comment or opinion is left behind Equal Rights for Sarcasm – Use the SarcMark

Good point guys Now I have some serious points I’d like to make about all this SarcMarc business

1 – Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

2 – Couldn’t you figure out a better looking punctuation? I mean really, that shit is gross.

3 – NO MAC SUPPORT??? WTF?

4- SERIOUSLY?

6 – It costs $2.

Readers, I was going to write an incredibly genius post using ONLY SarcMarc for punctuation, but was baffled beyond the point of being able to generate enough sarcastic remarks to flesh out a post. SO with that said, I’d like to ask you for your sarcastic remarks. Oh, and don’t forget to use proper punctuation

To properly use sarcasm while creating comments, please add the following code to the end of your statement.

of course this is very useful as English seems to be dying and our prime source of communication seems to be becoming more hieroglyphic. For instance LOL doesn't truly mean " laugh out loud" anymore, it gives us the an abstract mental image of lightness or a call to be taken less serious. LOL works so well bc it looks so great, its symmetrical it is grounded, just look at it as an image. I think the sarcasm symbol looks good and it going to be useful. Mourn English if u want, it really is dying, but don't mourn communication, its alive and well.
