What is irony?

Irony in general is when some situation tries to say one thing, yet means the other.

An example of irony is a headline reading "Misisipi's Letteracy Progrem is Improoving." This is ironic because the writer wants to tell you they are reading and writing better, yet they can't even spell! Visit this type for a more in depth explanationhttp://theoatmeal.com/comics/irony
