O.k. if you are going to be sarcastic or make a joke in your post, I suggest using a smilie to show that it is a joke and you aren't being serious. Ex. Yeah, your a smart one. :D It helps to understand in what context what you wrote should be taken in. Ex 2 You all should be warned the world will end in 7 days. ;) Rating: 5

What's sarcasm?

I think sarcasm is best when unannounced. There will always be people who fail to understand it, and are forced to wonder whether someone is being serious, or just sarcastic. Perhaps they'll simply have to reread a post. Such a shame.

Smilies would take all the guess work out of it. And I, personally, enjoy making the reader struggle for comprehension sometimes.

*note the utter absence of smilies in this post*

But then the national divide comes into play. A lot of people have noticed that Brits tend to use harsher sarcasm, therefore hate us with a passion, because they just don't get it. Useless twats!

Just turn everything I say to the opposite and youll know what I really mean. Or will you?

Nobody really hates the brits because of their sarcasm. I think everyone just finds them to be kinda lame, and they really tend to cling to their stereotypes.

Its not that we don't get. It's just that its kinda stupid.

Oh well. I'm being sarcastic by the way.

Not really.
