Lesson 1: "you" has three (3) letters.

Hi, David! Is is so necessary to be so ironical about the other person's
problems?

No, I did it purely for the amusement factor.

But I'm pretty certain that Fernando in his heart of hearts knows how
"you" should be spelt, especially in a presentation paper.

You really don't mean "ironical"! Are you a fan of Alanis Morissette, by
any chance?

You make me feel a bit ashamed of my ignorance... Who is this person I'm
supposed to be a fan of?

Canadian popular songstress. Her 1995 hit single was entitled "Ironic", and
had the repeated line "Isn't it ironic?" Well, no - it wasn't, for the most
part :-)

Thank you for the information...
By the way, what do you think of the following idea: isn't it ironic that
the word seems to have the similar root as "iron";)?

Iron is hard as is irony.

will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

No it isn't :-(

You are using a web based newsreader X-Newsreader: www.talkaboutculture.com
which I have never heard of. They are absolutely the worst way of reading
usenet newsgroups, which is why I use this sig. You should dig around the
interface to get your netiquette right.

Google also is a swine to get the netiquette right. :-(

Well, What should I do about this, if I'm already registered here through
Google, and I'm not exactly what you can call "competent" in using the
Internet so far:(

I think "ironical" is a legitimate adjective - not that I can think of a use
for it, offhand.

I'm afraid you'll have to brush up your General English before taking
up Academic English. You can make use of the Internet, e.g. the BBC
Website, but I'd rather take private lessons than attend a course if I
were you. Good luck!
