Isn't It Ironic?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-you-think dept.

gessel writes "Have you ever used the word "ironic?" Do you know what it really means? If not, is that ironic? Was Seinfeld's "irony" really the cause of the utter collapse of civil society as we knew it? How ironic was it for the CEO of MTV to declare irony a victim of 9/11? The Guardian is running a brilliant article that clears the confusion around a culturally critical and chronically misused word."

    No, the real irony is that, on a site that claims to deliver "news for nerds", a significant proportion of the stories are either old, factually incorrect and/or dupes.

    And you even got to spell it wrong. No wonder it is.
