A facebook group, with a new idea...Spreading...
QUOTE
Tired of messaging or texting someone a sarcastic statement and they take it the wrong way and get offended because your witty sarcastic tone cannot be translated through text? Join the new movement to end this problem!
It is called Shift6 mainly because that's the combination of keys that are pressed on a keyboard but also because it is an incredibly cool name.
*How it works:*
Take one of your witty sarcastic comments, for instance:
"Myspace is awesome!"
and add the symbol '^' by pressing the Shift and 6 key on your keyboard (obviously this is different on mobile phones) to make the following sentence:
"Myspace is awesome!^"
Sarcasm is transferred!
Just like corecting correcting* yourself in MSN with the star key (*) Shift6 could become the standard of transferring sarcastic tone in text.
Now obviously this will only work between two people who both understand the universal code, so please invite as many people to this group as possible so we can get this group off the ground.
You only have to invite everyone once, and Shift6 could last a life time.
