It should be an emote
Good idea, but I'm not paying for it.
That's like being asked to pay for the use of '!' or '?'. Basically, the way I see it, anything that is going to be incorporated into the English language should be free.

I usually use "(¿?)" at the end of a sentence when writing in spanish, to mark upon a joke/sarcasm... they've got ninja'd :v:

fuck. i'd pay $100.99 for it[img]http://02d9656.netsoljsp.com/SarcMark/images/graphics/rk.png[/img][img]http://02d9656.netsoljsp.com/SarcMark/images/graphics/rk.png[/img]
How can you patent a punctuation mark? It's ludicrous. That's like patenting words and making people pay you to use them.
The simple solution is just to pick a random unicode character and then popularise that as the SarcMark.
For example:
I'd much rather pay for the SarcMark than use this■
(Alt+254 btw)
We could call it the SarcMarx :P
the png dosent copy well into msn emoticons :(
And no one i talk to will know what it means unless they have read this thread, you need to really get out there to change an entire language
It looks like shit and people who can't detect sarcasm on the internet are dumb, unless it really wasn't obvious.
I hate when people use [/sarcasm] or italics whatever, pisses me off. What I do is just type in lower case and/or all caps and exaggerate.
e.g. WHAT A BITCH fucking end her

It's working just fine on my end... maybe you're doing it wrong :/
I thought we had [/sarcasm] and italics to do that.
Why make people pay money for a new punctuation mark...
Great idea؟
i can see this catch on؟ (those who don't get the joke, look up irony mark)
[QUOTE=windwakr;19646818]Wait, you were being sarcastic about being sarcastic? So you WOULD pay that much for it?[/QUOTE]
No no no. Two sarcasm marks mean "Why do I even bother."
I can see OpenSarcMark coming up in 5..4..3..2..1..

This is not a good idea.[img]http://02d9656.netsoljsp.com/SarcMark/images/graphics/rk.png[/img]
What the, where did it go?
I like this idea, it's very fresh and innovative؟
:signings:
Gah, ninja'd.
Grammar nazis are going to be all over it. [IMG]http://02d9656.netsoljsp.com/SarcMark/images/graphics/rk.png[/IMG]
