Inverted, it looks like a laughing face.
SlagA:
(Sarcastically) I'm with Godot.
How original, A. 
Like yeah!

That tic is getting worse, Leevil. 
Sarcasm seems to be seen as inappropriate in American conversation and when used a lot by comedians they seem to shout very loudly, say the sarcastic words very slowly and often even punctuate the words with their fingers (although Jon Stewart is very good at sarcasm though).

Really? Do you? Well that's awfully nice of you.
Don't care if it's a fake it's like Rorschach giving a dirty wink.
Quote: Godot Taxis @ January 20 2010, 3:34 PM GMTIt must be a wind up - it's not accurate enough to be a typeface character - all of the angles are out - and the point about sarcasm is that you DON'T indicate that you're being sarcastic - so the character could never be used.
Wow! Yet another brilliant reply from Godot Taxis.

Do the people of BCG think it's a good idea or unnecessary?
What other punctuation marks do you think would be a good idea?I think it could be helpful but most people seem to manage without it.
Only ze Americaens would need zis!
Goodness!
Google [SarcMark] get 115,000 hits.
Now we will need a StetMark, to do the opposite, i.e to say I Really Mean It as Said פ
Bags I the tradename/trademark StetMark.פ
It's mine all mine, keep off you greedy lot.

Oh b*gger, the BCG website code can't handle that 
I actually went back to check that the article wasn't dated April first.
I forwarded the link onto a couple of people I work with that are realllllly anal about punctuation / grammer.
They liked it, but I have to say that I'm not too happy about it as it would put all my emails to 'Business Development' and 'Human Resources' under scrutiny.
