    You don’t know what you are talking about, research has clearly shown that sarcasm is often missed, even among people that know each other. Even between husband and wife. And note this research is on SPOKEN sarcasm, where you have hints in intonation. Written sarcasm is even worse.

    Alas, I do not care if someone who does not understand sarcasm does not get what I mean.

    If you don’t care if people get it, why then post anything?

      The whole point of sarcasm is that it is unclear and people may miss it. People who get it will appreciate it, some people may miss it.
