> It shows. You should stop thinking so hard, it's just causing you trouble.

A fair bit more intelligent than the likes of you, I'd imagine.

> That is not irony.

Oh?

> The words you have written is confusing plurality.

> You've failed to recognize a joke (and then claimed it's my fault), and you've failed to properly recognize irony.

"If this is a joke, I don't think it works too well." Failure where? I was already quite certain it was a joke, and went on to explain why it was still poorly constructed anyways. I suppose instead of weakening my language to appear more affable to a dimwit like yourself, I should've said, "In attempting to mock beeblez for his poor construction of a sentence, you yourself made an unintentional error. How laughable."

Your utter lack of reading comprehension caused you to miss

> But then you're saying either the words themselves are committing the act of confusing (personification), or they are a type of plurality that is confusing.

You made two errors - one intentional, one unintentional. If you don't know what those words mean, feel free to look them up in a dictionary. Your intentional mistake is easy to spot - the incorrect subject/verb agreement that mirrors beeblez' original mistake. Your unintentional mistake is the nonsensical nature of your sentence - words themselves do not confuse plurality, nor are they a type of plurality that is confusing.

> Is it ironic when someone talks smack in a video game and then loses? Is it ironic when an athlete proclaims to be the best and then loses? Is it ironic when a car manufacturer claims to make the best cars and then issues a recall? Did you fail English this badly as well?

I'll bet my CR or Writing (and, hell, Math too) score on the SAT was better than yours. Unless the SAT wasn't too popular in whatever trash, podunk town you grew up in - perhaps you can best me in a test of hog wranglin'?
