On a very high traffic list that I use to keep up with everyone that I've met since I started college we have taken to using a percent sign like a knew punctuation mark to indicate sarcasm. It's used just like a question mark or exclamation point. Example: I'm so glad that day light saving time started today% There's nothing like being at work for an hour before the sun comes up. It's worked rather well for the last four years or so for us and I would be very happy if it spread to the rest of the world because then I wouldn't have to think about what list I'm posting to and weather or not they'll understand my crazy moon language. -- - |) () /\/ all of you should start using the percent = sarcasm now
