Interest in the SarcMark exploded last week after Telegraph.co.uk reported on its launch.

I heard about it on the Beeb last week

"We cannot give out the exact number of downloads we’ve sold so far, but we can say it’s in the thousands.

Yet managed to quote a figure to the Beeb last week.

It's just an upside down at sign with a dot instead of an "a".

Is it just me or does Tom Meltzer look about 12 years old?

Do they get children to write the Grauniad these days?
