I put this in Mathematics because it's not likely to get an answer very quickly in any other subject. 

I think the correct answer could be either "incorrect grammar" or "sarcasm." Is the last line sarcasm? That's what I'm confused about. Otherwise this is an easy question

dinorap1 · Answer

If the last line isn't sarcasm then the answer is "incorrect grammar." I don't actually think it's sarcasm though, it seems like an exclamation the more I read it.

Actually the answer is "sarcasm" isn't it?
