a) that still isn’t irony.

[How to Use Simile, Metaphor, Irony and Hyperbole in Your Writing - Associated Content](http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/356173/how_to_use_simile_metaphor_irony_and.html?page=3&cat=3)

Irony is a complex concept. Irony is used when there is a significant difference between what the writer is saying, and what the reader believes to be true. [ x, i dont believe my statement was true; nor should anyone else ]

Often it is simply a series of events which is wildly different than what we, as the readers, would have expected. [ x, i assumed most readers wouldnt have expected me to diss on UCLA ]

In many cases, it’s the exact opposite of what is generally believed, or the coexistence of mutually exclusive polar opposites. [ x, my statement was completely wrong. the proximity and competitiveness arent exclusive]

b) “but again, my basis of the attempt was solely on implications that i assumed people who have gotten.” – what?

yeah, a small mistake on my part. i meant would, not who.

c) “a lot” is two words.

okay, cool. i forgot, you are a grammar nazi so i need to watch my grammar on an online message board.

how much longer are you going to continue this campaign of yours?
