American English doesn't typically denote sarcasm with punctuation. Thanks!
"Thanks!" is genuine. But emphasis or additional words can make it sarcastic:
- Gee, thanks.
Gee, thanks.
Thanks *a lot*.
Thanks a lot.
I've also seen younger generations (born 1990+) use trailing letters to denote additional emotion that is not necessarily sarcastic: Thanksssssssssssss!
I"Thanksssssssssssss!" I don't get it.
