So today in English we were told to think of someone who we argue with all the time, and think what about arguing with that person really makes us angry.
This was an unfortunate task for me, since I'm generally a wrathful, enraged person, and thinking about something that has made me angry in the past just makes me angry about it all over again. I really need to learn to let things go, but that is not the point of this post.
The point is that miscommunication is so very, utterly obnoxious, and the internet exacerbates this problem exponentially. The lack of emotion conveyed by type is a problem. Emoticons have fixed it to a small extent, but there isn't really anything to be done for sarcasm. Like I need to be able to type [sarcasm][/sarcasm], or hit Ctrl+Asshole on my keyboard, and that would solve about half of my online communication problems. There just has to be SOME universally recognized, visually conveyed method of experessing sarcasm over the internet.

Hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole. You have to be so over the top that even the dumbest moron will get it.
But yes there's no guaranteed way... :c
