Sarcasm comes across much better in person than via text, which I’m sure you agree with.

I completely disagree. Body language betrays your sarcasm much more easily in person. In text is where it's much easier to hide the meaning you are trying to convey and confuse your audience.

Yeah, sarcasm isn't meant to trick people. They are supposed to understand that it's sarcasm. That's what I meant when it comes across better in person. People get that it's sarcasm because of that body language.

edit Wait a tick, you're "sarcasm"ing me, aren't you!?
