If you love it so much why don't you just marry it?

I've read one too many attacks on Alanis Morisette's "Ironic".

People were using the word in that context years and years before her single.

'Coincidental' does not fit well ... even if you're a nihilist.

So - an analogy in language you might understand:

Irony is to synchronicity as
irony's denotation is to its connotation.

Ya lousy dictionary-lovin' freak.

...

Alanis, I love you. Why haven't you replied to my letters?

:P
