"A DEVICE that can pick up on people's emotions is being developed to help people
with autism relate to those around them. It will alert its autistic user if the person they
are talking to starts showing signs of getting bored or annoyed."

> Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant.

Three kinds of irony:

1. verbal irony is when an author says one thing and means something else.
2. dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know.
3. irony of situation is a discrepency between the expected result and actual results.

Example:
"A fine thing indeed!" he muttered to himself.
