# Yes Marmosets are renowned for their grammatic pedantry

# I reasearched "Irony" on the interweb
but I'm still no wiser as to what defines something as ironic or merely unfortunate coincidence or just plain old sarcasm. So I tread lightly when I say something is ironic as it's a bit of a minefield full of pedant mines.

# It's a tricky one.
Futurama taught me that irony is :

"The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention."

but I think, like any language, just use it in a way that is meaningful. Except irony, of course, which has to be the opposite, ironically.
