It's time to re-mention that when I put this symbol: " ~ " at the end of a word, sentence, or paragraph, it means I'm being sarcastic and want to make sure it's understood that way. I'm sarcastic other times too, but I use this:

~

when I think it's possible someone might misunderstand and get insulted.

I send this idea into the Web every so often. I'm actually interested in it becoming widely used for this purpose. It could save lives, marriages, friendships. Or have you never been misunderstood in this keyboard world we now exist? Hmm... come to think of it, you may not even know you've been misunderstood. Has someone been absent in your life for quite some time?
