Does everyone have as much of a problem with this as I do? Too often assuming sarcasm when there is none, or missing it entirely when it's there? It's so hard to catch through text sometimes, and yet I feel like it's a mechanism that's used pretty frequently online. I mean, in real life, sarcasm has an accompanying tone that makes it easy to distinguish, along with facial expressions more often than not.
So why not have something for text that denotes sarcasm the same way? I feel like we've got the "." to finish an idea/sentence, and the "..." to express hesitancy or some form of pause... so maybe we could use ".." to help express sarcasm? For example:
"Yeah, you're cool.."
or
"Oh yeah, that'll change the world, alright.."
So I dunno, what do you guys think? Even if the ".." isn't what you'd suggest, do you feel like a sarcasm indicator would be something worth having? Not that it would spread across the internet or anything, but still...
It'd be rad, yo..
