    Hello ken, from Ken. We English taught you the English language, and here is a lesson on how to use it.

    My Cambers US dictionary lists your Q., under {irony] followed by [ironic] and then [ironical].

    How old is your Chambers.?

    You can give me ten points for research if you`re kind.

    I wasn't aware there was an American language that needed an American dictionary to define it's words.

    I live in The United States of America and speak English. The word irony appears in all the English dictionaries written and published here in the USA that I have checked.

    Could you elaborate a little more on the American dictionaries you were looking in? I would be interested in knowing which countries speak American and what words were in the American dictionaries.

    Smutty's reply reveals all!!

    It seems that the word is in the dictionary but that the definition isn't!

    Why would the Americans have dictionaries? it's not like they'd know what one was.
