The American Heritage Dictionary's secondary meaning for irony: "incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs".
- toddkac[5] This sense, however, is not synonymous with "incongruous" but merely a definition of dramatic or situational irony. It is often included in definitions of irony not only that incongruity is present but also that the incongruity must reveal some aspect of human vanity or folly. Thus the majority of American Heritage Dictionary's usage panel found it unacceptable to use the word ironic to describe mere unfortunate coincidences or surprising disappointments that "suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly."[6]


Get it? There does not have to be a direct relationship between the two just that the comment is vein and yet he doesn't spell properly....get it yet?
He is calling him a derogatory name yet his spelling mistake also implies the same.

Ironic.

Jesus Christ, typos don't make it ironic to call somebody something. That's like saying it's ironic for someone with a cough or flu to call another person stupid. They're COMPLETELY separate. By your logic, if someone has a typo, they can't criticize anybody. Genius.

Another pointless argument brought on in another pointless thread about an irrelevant team.

how's it an irrelevant team? As a sabres fan, the sabres team is highly relevant to me.

Stop feeding the troll dude.

I haven't called anyone pathetic at all today, and not for a while before that actually. What's your point? That people who make a couple grammar-related mistakes in a message can't criticize a moron like GARTH? If that's the case, you're being quite the hypocrite. The only person I criticize with grammar is you, because it thoroughly entertains me.

DID I SAY THAT?

All I said was irony....I didnt say someone couldn't post....damn

THEY CAN BUT IT IS CALLED IRONY

damn its like you dont get it.


And yes if you tell someone they are stupid but yet have a bunch of spelling mistakes in the message one could say that is ironic.

Not. At. All.

You're basing your entire irony argument on the ridiculous notion that if someone has a couple typos, that they could be as pathetic as the person they are criticizing. If that's true, you're pretty much calling yourself pathetic considering the number of typos you have.

Who called you a troll? A bit defensive, I see. I didn't call you stupid, either. I said you didn't understand the word irony. You're absolutely awful at assumptions. There goes ANOTHER irony argument. The only reason I posted in response to you is the fact that you're probably the biggest wiener I've ever encountered. Internet OR real life.

seriously???????

Do you read what you write?

I have never critized anyone for spelling or called them stupid or pathetic....like some posters...

Yes I say their idea is stupid but I usually am the first one to say something when someone becomes a grammar nazi....not to mention I am missing 3 keys from my laptop and my NNnnNnnnn sticks.

I think that is funny since I see the effort you put in trolling other message boards....curious, ever get suspended for it?

By people, you mean yourself. Like I said, you're the ONLY person I correct. Yet again, FANTASTIC assumptions.

So not only is Garth playing the leap frog blogger game but he now is blogging about the same topic that Kevin is. What a piece of garbage this guy is.

yeah I thought that was a bit of a coincidence.

Grino75sabres....did I use that word right? Does it meet your approval?

It is a f$cking hockey message board and i have to defend what irony is.

Yet again, Mr. Assumption, I never said that. Your point is that someone who has typos may be pathetic (hence the nonexistent irony). You make PLENTY of typos, so, (by YOUR OWN logic) you are pathetic.

If it's a hockey message board, then stop being a complete asshat, and trying to piss everyone off. Your initial "irony" post is just as unnecessary as my responses to you. If you don't try to get under Vince's skin, NONE of this happens.

ok last time I will help you

By my logic what I post is ironic...not that it is pathetic or I am pathetic.
get it...the post is ironic....why does irony=pathetic?

I see where you make the leaps but really its pretty far. Take it in.

"He is calling him a derogatory name yet his spelling mistake also implies the same.
One could imply that whe calling someone pathetic and yet making such obvious spelling mistakes could be pathetic too."

Copied and pasted. You say it yourself. Someone with plenty of typos could be seen as pathetic. Therefore, AGAIN, you're calling yourself pathetic. Care to back-track more?

Not really any irony. It'd be ironic if he was taking a shot at GARTH's grammatical prowess (not a shot at you Vince). I guess you could say that your post is pretty ironic, since you're using a word that you clearly don't understand nor comprehend.

this is a troll post.

sabres fans already turning on each other before the season starts.

Ryan Miller is elite!!! Tyler Myers will win a Norris!! Thomas Vanek is not lazy!!
