I like the invention.
I think it is sad that a device has to be made for it.
But hey...whatever works.
I love solutions.

I hate having anything solved by logic and effort (.)

Three cheers for a new invention.

Good luck To All.
Peace.

wow, I didn't think so many users would think that the Idea would be a good one.
 
 It is important that you portray what your saying in the way you (want) to say it.

Blatantly shouting that you're using sarcasm completely abolishes the fun of being sarcastic. It's far funnier to say something sarcastically and have the other person not know whether or not you are than to be like WOW YEAH YOUR IDEA IS NOBEL PRIZE WORTHY FER SHER (! I'M TOTALLY BEING SARCASTIC LOLOL! !).

KG : Indeed. Sarcasm is best when only the alert listener grins as you say it.

Though I think this invention does have some use. Sometimes, in real life, one wants to sound obviously sarcastic, there are times you may want to be clear. Well, some people do. I hope this method becomes common place enough that people finally have a way to show sarcasm when they want to.

KG : In real life, people will take a certain tone to their voices that makes the sarcasm blatantly obvious anyway... which is maybe what this idea is trying to replicate... since tone cannot really be picked up in text properly.

Though outright stating you are being sarcastic does indeed ruin it. Good sarcasm isn't in-your-face. What would be better than a "sarcasm dot" would be some sort of indicator of a snarky tone in general that can then be used for sarcasm but doesn't HAVE to be for that purpose.

I tend to just use eye-rolling type expressions (¬.¬) when I wish to say something with that type of tone.

This is actually really cool.  I've been looking for something to express sarcasm through text.  It's a lot harder to express and a lot harder to pick up when it's on the internet or through texts XD

Excuse me, but I have never seen the "!" used in paranthesis as a sign of sarcasm. Instead, a few times already in stuff like news articles. And sometimes even the "?".
It is used, when the author wants to express how he/she feels about something without making the article subjective. For example, if the amount of something is unusual high. Like if the percentage of people who possess an iPhone increased by 27% from the last year or something like that, he would write:
"The amount of people possessing an iPhone increased from the last year by 27%(!)" [I don't like that example, but I think you know what I mean]
And the "?" can be used if a sentence isn't completely proven yet. But I've never seen the dot used in paranthesis.

Anybody saw that too sometimes?
