Sarcasm is part of our culture, and it's here to stay.

Jay Cole (jay_cole) | 292 comments Thanks, Don. Me, too.

It's a great tool for a writer. Very effective when used well.

Anyone else read this blog? Uh...hello, hello. ...Is this thing on? [Tap-Tap] Are you sure?? I don't hear any feedback.

Alicia Ehrhardt (aliciabutcherehrhardt) Some people don't understand it, and can't see it when it's right in front of them, so, without an indication (/sarcasm), it can be mistaken for a real opinion, especially online where nuance is, well, missing.

Well used, it's priceless.

Geoff Woodland | 65 comments Sarcasm might be the lowest form of whit, but it is often the most effective.

Nihar Suthar (niharsuthar) | 383 comments I use sarcasm all the time! I think it's pretty big in the younger generation that I'm a part of as a form of humor.

Jay Cole (jay_cole) | 292 comments Great comments, folks!

I particularly liked:

Alicia - "Well used, it's priceless."
Geoff - "...it is often the most effective." (So true!)
Nihar - "I think it's pretty big in the younger generation...as a form of humor." (The kids...They be learnin'!)

Thanks ALL!
