A Note About Sarcasm
Not referring to anyone in-particular, just the internet in-general, as it's something I've noticed everywhere lately.
Please, either go to eleven or just don't do it at all if you're going to use sarcasm in text online - it's something that needs, in addition to knowing the individual well, inflection and body language. Neither of which exist in text. So unless it's blatantly clear you're being sarcastic, please don't use it.
This doesn't apply to fiction, as you can make it expressly clear there(""Blab blah blah," X said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice as she spoke." Except not written poorly), but when using it as a means of communication, either be blatant with sarcasm or don't use it.
