i want to write an autobiography in 500 words or less

[JR]

Ok, start by typing on the keyboard. That's the thing with all the letters
of the alphabet on it. It also has numbers and some strange symbols on it.
You can start with any of them.

And you can use Tools | Word Count or the Word Count toolbar to keep track
of how close you are to your goal.

Is it just me or are all of you affected by the good weather?
My ironymeter is off the scales the last few weeks.
Definitely an improvement!

They must have had a lot more happen to them in the last week than I have.
Nothing new in my world.

The above is an example of sarcasm, not irony.

A quick Google reveals this definition of irony:
In literary criticism, the effect of language in which the intended
meaning is the opposite of what is stated. The title of Jonathan
Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is ironic because what Swift proposes in
this essay is cannibalism — hardly "modest."
