As the dust settles on the battlefield...

This has been a horrible series of days even though the exams are over. Sure the exams were over,but the aftermath promises to be horrible. There has been talk of 75% of the entire cohort failed the damned Ad. Maths. Even more worryingly, almost EVERY paper was difficult enough to send me a 'gift certificate' which comprises of at least 3 failed subjects. Cheers! On a brighter note, there's more time for me to go for gaming which i am beginning to lose interest in thanks to someone (Ahem) Well at least there's this anime which looks interesting... Maybe i'll take a look another time.

Well at least there's a vocabulary time that i am probably gonna scold loads of people for. WHATS THE MEANING OF IRREGARDLESS? HINT: ITS NOT REGARDLESS. THE REAL MEANING IS : NOT A DAMNED THING

Another word is the word : Ironic. I have heard MANY PEOPLE SAYING THE WRONG MEANING OF IRONIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN. What They say it means : Any kind of amusing coincidence. THE REAL MEANING IS : An outcome which is the opposite of which you expect.
Now,we realize this is a technical point. But, it's almost worth taking a stand because the word has been abused to the point that it means almost anything.

"She always said she wanted to marry a dentist! And then she married Bob, who is a dentist! Isn't that ironic?"

"I went on my cigarette break, but there was a No Smoking sign! Isn't that ironic?"

"I just pooped in your aquarium! Isn't that ironic?"

There is a limit we have to impose sooner or later right?!

There are thousands of words that i want to complain about but i'll leave it as that for now. (WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FONT?!)
