I want a new punctuation mark that indicates sarcasm. Also one that indicates "I'm not being sarcastic, really, I mean it!"
How would that be different from emoticons?
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because emoticons aren't functioning as actual punctuation.
Also, they are of the devil. I say this because I've caught them creeping into my e-mail, etc., SURELY typed by fingers other than my own.
SURELY.

I was riffing off the Dinosaur comic Frank linked to. Emoticons aren't punctuation. Is there an emoticon for sarcasm/not sarcasm? Because I'll use it, oh yes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You void the warranty?

That's like matter and anti-matter meeting.
