...without sarcasm.
A sarcasm lock key, that would reverse italicize your text might help communicate your tone without the need for smiley's.

Nice idea. :-|
Smiley's what? |
|
| |
Without the need for Smiley's annoying smilies, is what I meant. |
|
| |
This inevitably leads to the problem of dealing with meta-sarcasm, those sarcastic remarks whose sole target are previously written or uttered sarcastic remarks. |
|
| |
Well, doesn't this idea just suck. [+] |

No, we came via South Yemen. |

You know that you can edit your idea (e.g. to fix glaring typos), right? |
|
| |
Amazing! could there also be something to translate plain text into sarcasm? Sometimes I'm just too nice. |
|
| |
I exclusively use sarcasm as a
communication tool at work. Such a
device would be welcomed by my
associates, who often cannot distinguish
my intent. |
|
| |
Imagine if you accidently sent all text as sarcasm... |
|
| |
Dear Jane,
It's such a shame you didn't see me, yesterday. I really missed you. You would have looked so nice in your new clothes.
Please, please, try to come again real soon.
Lots of love,
Ling. |
|
| |
And forgetting to switch the text to sarcastic: |
|
| |
Dear Ling,
Your email was so nice. It's just what I wanted after a terrible day. Please make sure you keep sending them, as they are so uplifting.
Lots and lots of love,
Jane |
