Expressing sarcasm in the written word can be a risky thing, especially in emails.
To counter this problem a company has come up with a new punctuation mark, the "sarcmark" which may be used in the same way as an exclamation mark or question mark.
The symbol – a dot inside a single spiral line – can be installed onto any PC running Windows 7, XP or Vista, as well as Macs and Blackberry mobile devices.
What do you think? Would you ever use a sarcmark?
