How ironic that you blast Americans' reading aptitudes with a mistake. It's "Hear, hear."

OK, so let's get this straight..

Pointing out a grammatical mistake gets lots of upmods.

Pointing out that what people commonly call "ironic", might not actually be ironic, gets downmods.

What's going on?

[khafra → shiranaihito]

One's topical. One's incidental, and something everybody's already heard ad nauseum.

[shiranaihito → khafra]

So everyone knows "ironic" doesn't work like they use it, but they do it anyway?

As in, No One Cares?

[jcl → shiranaihito]

Exactly.
