That's not irony, that's just plain old stupidity.....

It would be ironic however if he tried to make an appointment with her and she rejected him for his poor language skills.  It would also be a delicious revenge.

I've always believed that the best way to educate people as to the meaning of the word irony is to take a black felt tip pen and redact the definition of irony from their dictionaries.

A reviewer weighing in on an AMP girl's English level when the reviewer himself has the grammar of a 3rd grader.

in terms of both grammar and syntax -   especially the use of terms for the body that seem appropriate to a ten year old.....

English is my fourth language -  it's really not that difficult -   I have little respect for those who do not make an effort....

I could not agree more! This is my adoptive country as well and I have little patience (with some exceptions) with people who cannot be bothered with learning the working language of this land.  

And, yes, I know that there is no "official" language ;-)

Conan is repulsed by poor use of English but rarely comments here any more.  He fervently wishes posters would avail themselves of TER's spell check feature and simply take the time to read through a post and make corrections before putting it up.
People like Tidwit, and others, use the excuse they are posting from smart phones but Conan says this is a lame excuse

One less thing for people to complain about.

and I am sure that many would - I've heard a lot of rants about people taking advantage of the benefits of the TER review system but not contributing themselves -

but you know what?  I say - do what seems best to you and don't worry about it.....

There is more than enough about you to complain about without your writing reviews of the pimps you sympathize with.

But Tom's observation creates the irony, whereas the clause in the ad is just, AYS, plain stupid.
