The problem with irony is that when other people dont get it, you're the stupid one.

The other problem with irony is it comes across poorly in a written medium, especially to those of us who can't spot non-verbal clues :)

You realize that u/clinkzs is correct, right? (I'm not saying that america is splendid). A lot of things historically, especially when it comes to language, went precisely like this:

Step 1: Britain does something

Step 2: America, naturally cause of its English language connection or before america existed, does it too.

Step 3: Britain changes it

Step 4: America doesnt change it
