          One after the first sentence, one after the second sentence, and then a stack of seven at the end. Totaling nine.

          Even if you separate them out ignoring the first two as being separate instances of sarcasm, the last section is still an uneven number.

          EDIT: People please don’t downvote this person over misreading the number of /s in my post. Not justified. They made a simple mistake. You could just simply not upvote if that’s how you feel.

            Wouldnt they cancel out anyway?

            Each sentance has 1 /s, canceling them, and then the 7 /s cancel the first /s’

              I mean, realistically in math, when you stack a bunch of the same things together, they add together they don’t cancel out.

              That’s what happens when you add a positive and a negative.

              That would be if they were alternating tags for “sarcasm” and “not sarcasm” and there were just as many “sarcasm” tags as “not sarcasm” tags.

              But I mean this is all just semantics because last I checked we’re not actually dealing with math here. Just like the Stock Market.
