Hipsters and millennials, please learn what irony means. Most of the ways you use it, they're just you being a pretentious little shit not irony. This is irony (and also funny as a motherfucker).
I know that TMB likes his irony like he likes his rot-iron fences, pre-Madonna and good for his self of steam. But what do we axpect when football players no longer stand at a tension, and people take it for granite that the precedent is a crook? I am not waiting with baited breath and biting my time till American gets to a better end. It's a tough road to hoe, and not everyone can tow the line, but it seems American English is held together with bailing wire and duck tape, and bare in mind that we should not get boggled down in grammer nazism and just cease the day and try to avoid cognitive dissidence.
Oh, and, it does not beg the question [grammarist.com], nor is it something of a damp squid [telegraph.co.uk]. If you let the illiterate define language by their misuse, your talk gets all ironedy.

Wow, and me without an "Ironic" moderation option.

I think you missed something there. Should it not be "a tuft rowed to ho"?

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't lead a horticulture.
