Default Before you use the word "ironic"

Read this document:

http://sc.tri-bit.com/Irony

99.9% of the time it's used, there is zero irony on the table.

Lately, there's this nasty trend for people to suggest that because a mistake is in common use, it is somehow suddenly correct by reflection through common usage in some misguided interpretation of linguistic drift within a live language.

Thank you, Chris.
The Diction Nazi got quite the tingle out of that.

You know? it's ironic that I had just gone to bed to get a good night's sleep, but I was woken up many times in the night by the doctors reminding me that I needed a good night's sleep.


"It's a traffic jam when you're already late
It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think... " Alanis Morissette, Ironic

My dearest Chris...we are often on the same page. What saddens me is how often I feel we're on the wrong planet....

I was gonna make a comment about this Alanis song, LOL. Ya beat me to it. Not a hint of irony in this whole song, unless you consider the irony of a woman writing a song about irony that contains absolutely no irony.

Then again, when she asks "isn't it ironic, don't you think?" you could always just answer no.

That's certainly do-able. No irony in it though.
