<<Incidentally, if I ever use slang or use a word to describe something it does not normally describe, I put it in quotations. Occassionally, when I'm making a pun or insert a sarcastic word, I put quotations also. Do people find this acceptable?>>

Wisam...I like to do this, too. It really helps get the correct message across when you're using email or threads. The absence of body language and facial expressions makes it especially hard to decipher what may be a sarcastic or particularly dry remark.
