One of the tools we use everyday is SARCASM. Unfortunately, the cues we receive to indicate that when talking person-to-person are lost in print or on the web. So my question to all is, how do we indicate that so the humor implied with a change of tone in voice can be "seen" and understood.
My thought on this awhile back was to post a sarcastic comment in backwards quotes. By this I mean, typographers quotes where the quote is curled inwards and for sarcasm you make them curl outwards (start with the end quote, end with the start quote). Unfortunately the standard quotes provided in this editor are straight, no curl.
Any ideas?
