Can you sense when someone is being sarcastic?

Question

Obviously not, people listed below; I can understand seeing that this the internet and the words are typed with no emotion, or at least emotion you cannot sense:

- michelle r
- Perfectionist
- Break This
- Mrs Mills
- Chazz Drizzler

"Go die." Joel says with no apparant existence of sarcasm in his voice.

Answer 1

LOL.. Joel, ur too funny to be depressed! *hugz*

Answer 2

Uhmmmmm no not at all. LOL, just kiddin- emotion is registered in the brain when certain words are typed.. You read the word, ***, I got your attention, classic example. But that is not a bad word when used properly. To say that words are not typed with emotion is an interesting observation, in my opinion at least, because it is the way one presents themselves to others' and the choices they make when said typed words are shown. I did this last night and got a thumbs down, that's the point- *bad pun LOL, but true*

Answer 3

I have found that it helps to spell it out for some people try writing (dripping sarcasm) after each sarcastic statement, you may even have to define sarcasm for some. It's hard not to be depressed when faced with such inherent stupidity. Happy Holidays
