Seems trivial to discuss after all the stuff about suicide and bullying, but this thread is RANDOM discussion,
So...
People, including me, often have a problem conveying sarcasm in text, and I have from time to time seen situations where this kind of notification would help conversations, but how to do it?
I stumbled across this page about Irony Punctuation on wikipedia, with different proposals, Here they are with examples, so check them out and see which one suits you;
Oh yeah, Carlton are a great club⸮
Nathan Buckley is quite a shrewd coach that earnt his position through merit
The AFL ensures a level playing field for all 18 clubs ¡
Western Bulldogs are a "brave" club.
The football media look at all football news objectively[!]
Port Adelaide were wise to select the one opposition club with a red and yellow uniform for their Chinese match, then try and force them to wear their clash strip.#sarcasm
They are currently lining up the Bulldogs for their UK match next year, followed by West Coast for their Ukranian game in 2018 and St Kilda for the Egyptian match in 2019. </sarcasm>
West Coast Eagles have defied all the odds to be really strong home or away. /sarcasm
Essendon FC are a club with a strong ethical culture. /s
<Fe>Josh Kelly is currently doing all he can to become a North Melbourne player next year.</Fe>
(NB: The Fe refers to chemical element Iron, geddit?)
Dwayne Russell is such an engaging speaker :>
Richmond Tigers are the very model of consistency and stability, they've earnt the competition's respect.
Damien Barrrett is in the inner circle of a lot of clubs and well respected in the footy world :^)
I'm really hoping that we can keep the Hickey vs Longer debate raging for the entire season~.
The Brownlow Medal ceremony? Oh shit yeah, I can't wait ~!
Is St Kilda's deal with Essendon and Sydney for Carlisle the most foolish trade of the decade~?
People never get tired of non-stop sarcasm.~
