There is an advantage to not being able to tell, it makes you think.:wave:

I agree to some extent, but remember you and I are among the cleverest people here. Not everyone can handle it.

Usually sarcasm is hinted at by tone of voice and facial expression. Usually we have a clue. that's all i'm suggesting. Not something to make as a rule but something which is known to most of us

er... me neither.

I think you forgot the colour.

From my experience, it seems that sarcasm is often missed by new members to a forum. You get to know personalities and then it's really pretty simple to determine the tone of the conversation without audio or visual cues, as a generalization of course.

Yes, I agree Tonington, very good point! It does take time to get to know people, it took me a good while.

I don't do sarcasm. It's immature and childish and the rest of you could follow my example.
