Oh really now⸮

Another method of expressing sarcasm is by placing a tilde (~) adjacent to the punctuation. This allows for easy use with any keyboard, as well as variation. Variations include dry sarcasm (~.)

TIL - I’m an engineer & when I email colleagues, I will use ~ in a sentence to mean “about” - as in estimate, roughly, not quite equal to but close enough, etc.

Granted, the symbol is in a different place to denote sarcasm, but now I’m wondering how popular the usage of ~ is in the context of sarcasm, and have I ever confused someone because they only knew this context?

Interesting.

Most of the time I use /s or :^) to highlight a contradiction between utterance and meaning*. Never for caustic speech; if it needs to be marked, it's pointless.

Not a big fan of tilde. I use it for a bunch of stuff already, like approximation (~20 = around 20; 20~30 = some quantity between 20 and 30) and drawn out speech (longcat is long~). The later is a weabooism, I know.

I'd be fine with any of those new graphemes in the text, if they caught on.

This is actually fascinating. Good bot!

I like the idea of the reverse question mark.

¿ I only have an upside down question mark in my phone characters though.

Well who thought that was a good idea ¿

I'll start using some¡

I like the sarcasticies.

š ...I vote the smiley S.

I'm a fan of Sartalics - in concept. However, instead of it being a format, like italics or bold, it's a copyright-protected font that some jackass charges for.
