It will alert its autistic user if the person they are talking to starts showing signs of getting bored or annoyed." more . . . http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19025456.500-device-warns-you-if-youre-boring-or-irritating.html © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

;-) . . . eh girl - say eh (hi) 2 my friends @ the ear > 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. http://www.english.udel.edu/ ps - misfit stay well Sir!!! |
