I may have been wrong about the EOS R3 official announcement date

I didn't know that "/s" means sarcastic, and English is my native language. So, I have learned something. Actually, it's too easy to lapse into jargon and abbreviations, which we assume everyone knows but not everybody does. I often write out in full things like, for example, "minimum focal distance" rather than use mfd all the time in case newcomers aren't familiar.
I generally go with either /sarc or /sarcasm.

That solves absolutely every problem related to people missing sarcasm. /sarc.

Someone invented the word "sarchasm" (note the extra h) to describe the gulf between someone who is being sarcastic, and the person who doesn't recognize the sarcasm.

I've never heard that "/s" means sarcasm. And I'm in the US. If you want it obvious to all the different cultures of the world, you'll have to use an "obvious emoji" like :LOL::ROFLMAO: or else say "(just joking)", "(sarcasm)" or something like that.
