How To Recognize Irony
Quite often sarcasm is mistaken for irony; however, sarcasm is a form of irony which uses sharp wit to highlight the obviousness, stupidity, or annoyance-factor of a situation. One main difference between irony and sarcasm is that irony is generally observed and sarcasm is generally created (i.e. spoken, written). People don't usually go about actively pursuing the creation of irony. On the other hand, anyone who is relatively safe from being labeled stupid, and has availed themselves of the How To Be Sarcastic tutorial, can readily create sarcasm throughout their daily life. This interpretation may be lacking, but it serves to start us on a straightforward path to understanding what irony is.
