I'm sure Kevin can appreciate this effort

Introducing the irony mark. That's right - punctuation for ironic or sarcastic clauses; or clauses that otherwise contain such subtext.

If there were suitable computer codes for this and other unofficial punctuation reforms, I would totally use them on an everyday basis. :D

Funny, I saw that topic on wikipedia too. I wish it was standard on writing. ;D

But irony in literature is normally masked on purpose for the author not being arrested.

That's interesting. I think this is staying on my clipboard (because I'm too lazy to hold down Alt and type on the numpad).
I might even use it...
* calcdude can't think of a sarcastic/ironic sentence that is in context right now, or he would gladly use it.
Edit: 200th post!

Lol I wish that was made official (well... at least on the Internet and computer characters), because in certain cases, sarcasm/irony can be very hard to detect through text. x.x

It is in verbal form too, sometimes, but not as much.

Sometimes when something is really bad, people will do:

"WOW this is so awesome! Not!"

And being very enthusiastic about it being awesome even if it's obvious it's the opposite is another way to be sarcastic through text

Quote from: hypothetical me
You guys suck؟
And after a few responses:
Quote from: hypothetical me
What?! It was irony, why can't you tell?
Therefore, I am not giving that response.
