ARGH!! It happened again!

[SackOfAllTrades]

...someone in a post used the word "ironically" when they meant "coincidentally"

When someone posts a topic in which you can relate to agreeably, then it's coincidence.

EXAMPLE

Topic:

Someone talking about the Lakers.

Improper use of the concept "irony":

"Ironically, I was just talking with my friend about the Lakers before I saw this post."

Where is the freaking irony in that?

Irony needs contrast. Coincidence is congruity.

Thank you, I'm gonna go punch a baby now.

Many people that have not mastered the use of a language may have good points to communicate. Still, sometimes it has to weigh on how much credit you give the information.
