Introducing the irony mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_mark). That's right - punctuation for ironic or sarcastic clauses; or clauses that otherwise contain such subtext.
If there were suitable computer codes for this and other unofficial punctuation reforms, I would totally use them on an everyday basis. :D

Funny, I saw that topic on wikipedia too. I wish it was standard on writing. ;D
But irony in literature is normally masked on purpose for the author not being arrested.

Hey, that's actually kinda cool! :D
-
This. Must. Be. Legalized.

That's interesting. I think this is staying on my clipboard (because I'm too lazy to hold down Alt and type on the numpad).
I might even use it...
* calcdude can't think of a sarcastic/ironic sentence that is in context right now, or he would gladly use it.
Edit: 200th post!

Lol I wish that was made official (well... at least on the Internet and computer characters), because in certain cases, sarcasm/irony can be very hard to detect through text. x.x
It is in verbal form too, sometimes, but not as much.
-
omg i remember this XD although i prefer to just use a sarcasm tag
</sarcasm>

Sometimes when something is really bad, people will do:
"WOW this is so awesome! Not!"
And being very enthusiastic about it being awesome even if it's obvious it's the opposite is another way to be sarcastic through text
-
Oooh, cool! I wish I could use this in my formal papers sometimes. ;D
-
I sure will use this in formal papers؟
OK, so that was a bad one...
how about:
Quadratic Solvers are the best thing that ever happened to ticalc.org؟

Lol. There's no way that's funny؟

You guys suck؟
And after a few responses:
What?! It was irony, why can't you tell?
Therefore, I am not giving that response.
