I guess no one wants to raise this question because it

if someone figures out a really good answer for how a literal-minded
person can tell when someone else is being sarcastic, could they email it
to me? I'd like to participate more in this discussion, but I must get
back to working on articles.
I guess we need to introduce a <sarcasm>...</sarcasm> tag, and maybe
also <irony> and <satire> for those who wish to use those things too.
