Is a sarcastic answer that begins "Are you RETARTED?" an example of irony?
Ok, just to clarify, my point was that someone who thinks retarded is spelled "retarted" should not be asking such a question. Rather than irony, perhaps it is "pot-calling-the-kettle-black-edness".

Well, it WOULD help if you spelled retarded correctly..and yes, that was a sarcastic answer, and your question was full of irony...

No, Irony is when the intended meaning is the exact opposite of the literal meaning. Since intention comes into play, it is not for questions. You are using hyperbole here.

It would be ironic if the person was retarded and you did not know it.
