Why spend two dollars? Fonts aren't that hard to mess around with...

SarcMark pirate!  From now on fonts will only be available online, even if you're only writing notes to yourself.

Hmm... perhaps I should try to patent the letter "e". Anyone wanting to use it must first pay me 2$.
How the heck does anyone think they can sell a punctuation mark?!

You could use that sweet, old fashioned Irony Mark.

Or a new-fangled SarcMark.
awesome. Made of awesome!
Wait, I can't find it on my keyboard.

You need to buy the SarcMark.
You heard me right.
For money.

Actually...you just buy the hotkey...and probably a little jpg that that hotkey pastes into whatever your editing.

Probably you can only get a limited use licence on the SarcMark right?  They wouldn't sell the rights to their goldmine IP for just 2 dollars!

I would just use the irony mark instead, or the inverted exclamation point. At least the latter is already included in most fonts.

Is someone allowed to reply+quote an email containing the sarcmark?
Are they allowed to forward it?
Can they copy/paste something containing the sarcmark?
Can they copy/paste only the sarcmark?

Quite good questions.

If it's intended to be used as punctuation, it's silly to try to control it with a copyright. "NO! NO PERIODS FOR YOU! YOU HAVE NOT PAID FOR YOUR PERIODS!" But, I wanted to quote this guy and I'm tired of elipses... "PAY ME NOW. THEN you can have your periods."

I don't know.  I've never seen it in use and didn't pay for it.

Well, attempts to post an image of it here for use at the end of a sarcastic sentence failed, but that's probably only due to my poor forum coding.

Wow, both computers need the (will be) $2 software to even see it. And it doesn't work on facebook.

The graphical one only works in a few programs. This software is crap.

I guess you could be slightly successful with the couple of thousand people who immediately buy into the idea. Anyone with a little bit of the right kinds of sense, however, must immediately see that something like this will never work as long as it costs people something out of pocket.

Get Microsoft (and of perhaps Apple) to buy into it and give you a tiny bit of royalty forever when they incorporate it into their software in every operating system, or go find some other way to make money. That's the business advice I would give these people. Of course the first thing you need once this is implemented is to find a way to either distinguish between nice sarcasm and not nice sarcasm, or to decide which one this symbolizes. Does it apply to tongue-in-cheek statements? etc.
