So a bunch of people giving them shit for using improper English in a situation where you know what they mean. Not one person remarks about why Michael J. Fox was at the NCAA meet?

It is too good to let pass; Rojo trying to defend himself by citing a dictionary, and spelling "dictionary" wrong. That could only happen to rojo, and it couldn't be any better than in a post where rojo is trying to define "irony."

I never get tired of or any less amused by a brojo trying to use English. They continue to astound me with how little facility with this language that they have learned in over forty years of immersion. Misspelling "dictionary" when citing a dictionary in a post is one of their (they're there) all time classics.
"...with how little facility with this language that they have learned...."
Guy, are you trying to be funny?
Brojos sez: Grammur n spellin? We ain't not needs no grammur n spellin. Us gots them they're spellin chekers on the kompooter. Us jest gots too lern how too turn that their kompooter on.

From the Oxford English Dictionary
1 The expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect:
- “Don’t go overboard with the gratitude,” he rejoined with heavy irony
1.1 A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result:
- The irony is that I thought he could help me.
1.2
(also dramatic or tragic irony)
A literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character’s words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.
OMG. Please stop. No one cares about the definition of irony or ironic. Go bother Alanis. "A free ride when you're already there." "It's like rain on your wedding day."
Please stop.
The real question is does the major donor to UoO sponsor or promote this research?

My quibble is the uniting of amazing and ironic, and how much it feels like you are piling on as much as you can about this controversy. Sure, it is important, but so is being even-handed. I love your website most of the time, but we are flying over the top lately and if Salazar plays too close to the edge and sometimes crosses it--well, another irony is that you are also dabbling at the edge and, in this case, in my mind at least, crossing over. Illegal? No. Inappropriate given your position?

Grammar, spelling, and word use are for the 47%. Don't forget that the Princetons of the world love their happy bottom quarter, the legacies, the athletes, the oboeists, and above all, the foundation cases.
