Is this the best example of irony yet? I was in the supermarket the other day, and glanced over the ads that people had hung on the board. You know, where they try to sell old couches and puppies etc. There was an ad that started,
"ARE YOU TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK OR WRITE ENGLISH PERFECTLY?"
"Ah", (I thought to myself, for I try to be a stickler when it comes to correct English), "someone who wants to teach people to use the language correctly. How wonderful." I then read on, where it went on to say,
"DO YOU SOMETIME FEEL ASHAME OR EMBARRASS OR IS WHEN YOU WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH WRITE ENGLISH SAY ENGLISH , WHEN YOU TRY TO READ ENGLISH? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ABLE TO WRITE ENGLISH CURRENTLY CORRECTLY?"
Is that the best example irony?! Obviously, I took down the number and will be calling this person immediately, the sooner to correct my ashame and embarrass..
