yes, I am a language nazi

Pet peeve: ironic means something that is the opposite of what is said (similar to sarcasm, but more subtle), or opposite to what is appropriate or wanted. Or, in the case of dramatic irony, when onlookers have knowledge that the people taking action do not, which casts those actions in a different light.

People using "ironic" nowadays actually seem to mean "weirdly apropos" or "poetic justice." It's teeth-grindingly annoying. I was just reading a book of rock and roll legends, and the author uses ironic constantly. Two band members dying at the same intersection is not ironic, it's an eerie coincidence.

Just had to get that off my chest. Yeah, I have weird pet peeves. Just watch, I'm sure a lot of people agree with me.

One more for free: one does not graduate college. One graduates *from* college. Or, even more strictly appropriate, one is graduated from college (rarely used anymore, but you do see it). If were able to do it, you should be able to announce the fact correctly. Please.
