I was wondering if this [sarcasm]esteemed community of dopers[/sarcasm] could answer this question:
I often see [air quotes]“netizens”[/air quotes] using faux bits of coding instructions to insert text based editorial commentary that would otherwise be unspoken and perhaps conveyed by body language or a muttered side comment in a real-life conversation. (Perhaps a close relative to “smilies” :rolleyes: except there’s no smilie available for that precise thought.) Is there a term for this, or better yet has any study been made of it?
Also, any favorite examples from this board or elsewhere?
