An American company has come up with the idea of introducing a sarcasm punctuation mark to overcome any ambiguity or misunderstanding when making comments in emails, and obviously an American company would be best placed to do this.

I say that because Americans are masters of sarcasm.

We English use it all the time but Americans have a rapier-like grasp of the subtleties of sarcasm so are always several steps ahead.

The SarkMark can be used as a tool for indicating irony too, and again let me state that an American company has come up with this idea.

And if you’ve read this far, let me just say that you’re looking great today.
