Great idea! For centuries, writers of English have had to rely on good writing skills...what a relief this is! AQnd it's not like there are already any ways to indicate sarcasm!

My feeling is that if the person whom you are writing to is so stupid as to not be able to figure out you are being sarcastic, then there’s no point in being sarcastic w/ that person. Another dumbing down idea, but good on the person who came up w/ this idea for the clueless...

Yes, we'd have to put that mark on just about everything written by Jonathan Swift or Rabelius.

Or every Democratic proposal.
