That Copy Kat requested I address the misuse of ironic, which we both agree reached its pinnacle with the song by Alanis Morisette. But the Lord (and VH1) works in mysterious ways! The song “Ironic” focused a flurry of attention on how un-ironic the song’s narratives were. So my work here is done.
Until I saw this video. My work here was only half-done. Now it’s all done, thanks to collegehumor.com. You oughta know.

It’s actually ironic, episode III (November, 2015) Alanis revisits the song twenty years later. She must have read my article, Who would have thought?
‘Actually’ I couldn’t have said it better! Thanks, Otto!
