There's a difference?
Irony: :-;
Sarcasm: No, of course, there is _no difference_ at all. If you are at the bottom of a
pond. And talking only to fellow tadpoles. In semaphore. With your tail. And then your
tail falls off, leaving you without a viable means of communication. Then and only then
does the distinction between sarcasm and irony become a distinction without a difference.
I have been teaching this to frog-faced pupils like you for forty years and you still
haven't got the point.
