<div>'''Irony''' is commonly used in U.S. English to refer to a type of rhetoric whereby a statement or assertion is made with the intention to put across the opposite meaning. E.g. "Oh I ''really'' like your coat." In British English this is more commonly refered to as [[sarcasm]].<br />

In British English, ''irony'' refers to an action or occurence that is incongruous or amusingly unexpected. An example of this definition of ''irony'' might be a Conservapedia user being blocked for using correct spellings such as "colour".</div>HolyTommy
