Some people display sarcasm by emphasizing certain words as one would in speech, usually by using [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} italic font]]. Others however, just use words that are not common in natural speech, such as "Gosh, really?", "My goodness, I never would have guessed that", and "Gee willikers, that's so insightful." Other people have even proposed a sarcastic font.
