Though I am somewhat like Alanis Morissette in that my understanding of what makes something ironic can be faulty, I do find it amusing that I just tried to comment on an LJ written by a person who is blind, and I got hit with a visual CAPTCHA, and I failed it.
that is, in fact, ironic.
and alanis gets a bad rap. she actually didn’t do so badly in that song. really. i studied this stuff for several years. plus i have, you know, my life. so i feel pretty qualified to judge irony. if you don’t believe me, there’s always wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramatic_irony#Types_of_irony
