Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
Is it just me or do some people not know how to read? So many times I've seen people comment on a thread and not even have any comprehension of what someone was trying to say. I guess some people just don't understand or even recognize what Sarcasm is. |

Well you see the problem is that when you intend to use sarcasm on the internet, you must make it VERY CLEAR that you are using it, because the reader doesn't know what context is accented, and what isn't, which primarily is what makes sarcasm, sarcasm.
Smileys really help enunciate the sarcasm. Like Great Job  and Great Job  So is capitalizing your accented words, although it's not as efficient. I would just prefer everyone stopped using sarcasm on the forum, as it's confusing and I don't really wanna bother with identifying someone's goddamn sarcastic comment. [edit] Don't assume everyone thinks what you're thinking when you write your post. If you make a sarcastic note, and the reader doesn't catch it, it is partially your fault for not enunciating the sarcastic factor enough, no matter how stupid the reader is. |
