greatbearA Michigan company has come up with a new punctuation mark. Unlike the well-known ones, this new punctuation is used to denote when the preceding sentence contains sarcasm.
"Statements have the period. Questions have the question mark. Exclamations have the exclamation mark. When you see the newest punctuation mark for sarcasm, you'll know the writer of that sentence doesn't literally mean what they're writing; they're being sarcastic," the company said in a release.
Best of all, the company is providing this new punctuation as an installable feature in hand-held devices and computers for a mere $1.99. It's a great day for the written word. It truly is!
Really!
