SarcMark

Since social networking has been around, the problem of tone has been around. If you are having a conversation with someone via email, chat room or even text, it can be hard to tell whether or not something that the other person says is meant literally or as a joke. The worry is also there that if you make a sarcastic remark, the other person won't pick up on your sarcasm and they could end up severely offended. Now thought, finally, an answer to our prayers. Introducing the "SarcMark". The easy way to let someone know you're joking. Used in the same way as a question mark would be, the SarcMark is simply put at the end of a sentence to signify sarcasm. I think this is genius and hope it catches on. This is what the little guy looks like..
