I too have issues with people grasping my language. I think it's a common thing these days. I feel like I have to be overly verbose for anyone to understand me. Else they just think I'm dumb or rude. I try to use winky faces ;) when sarcasm is text only. Perhaps we need a Font Typeface for sarcasm..?
This is the other reason to lay it on with a trowel. In speech I can be more subtle with sarcasm, online I hate the use of '/s' tags, so I flag it more by including surreal or ridiculous elements and making sharp changes in style.
