Something that really annoys me with gamesaday is when ppl try 2 b sarcastic.

They dont seem 2 understant that sarcasim doesnt work in type, it's the tone of voice, it wasnt invented in type.

I just want ppl 2 know that it doesnt work and it isnt funny.

Okay, just to settle this:

Sarcasm does work in type, but you detect it by the type of words used, and the context they're used in. It's more difficult to detect, but much more rewarding.
