    BBC[^]:

    The agency has put out a work tender looking for a software system to analyse social media data. The software should have, among other things, the "ability to detect sarcasm and false positives".

    You don't say.

        It's called sentiment analysis, and software that does that already exists.[^]

            *sarcasm alert*

            If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
            You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
            Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

              I must confess, I'm relieved :)

              There are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate humankind in two distinct categories, and those who don't. No sarcasm has been harmed during the establishment of this signature.
