Irony: "The word _irony_ derives from the Greek _eironeia_, meaning 'feigned ignorance, dissembling.' In ancient Greek comedy, one of the stock characters, the _eiron_ ('a dissembler, one who says less than he thinks'), outwits other characters by deceiving them; he deliberately uses words that convey precisely the opposite meaning of his real thoughts, feelings, or intentions. The term is also commonly employed by critics to describe a situation in which the result of circumstances is the opposite of what might reasonably be expected. In most cases, irony involves a misunderstanding or a difference in understanding."

Number 1, if you utilize and especially START a written composition with a word that is considered to be mean-spirited and/or NOT politically correct....... you will NOT be taken seriously.\n\nMost people are not aware of what "weasel" words are and your definition is too wordy.  A concrete understanding of what a weasel word really is is not clear through your explanation.\nObtain a thesaurus in order to use different words meaning the same thing...The words misleading and misled are too prevalent throughout and distract from the point that you are attempting to get across.  In regards to your last entry...I'm quite baffled as to your point and the use of non-existent verbiage.  Seeming like, relaxingly raises-do not enhance or assist your ad description nor does it make any sense.  I'd give you a C-.  Keep trying to expand your use of the English language!  Many people don't and it is quite evident (especially on this site!) It is astonishing how  many people are unable to intelligently construct an intelligent and thought provoking (as well as correctly spelled)composition through the knowledge of vocabulary,grammar and the use of both!

In general, people do mean what they say in a situation like that.\n\nOn a related note, prefacing a cruel remark with "No offense, but.." doesn't make the statement following any less offensive.  It only acknowledges that the speaker KNOWS the statement is offensive.

There is some flexibility for titles of Literature as well as songs.  Unfortunately if an author sues and goes to court, there is a chance that the other author will have to change the title.  If it is a similar title from an ancient text, there isn't a claim for plagarism, because the original author is dead and can't claim infringement.

Each word,though similar in meaning is used in relation with the appropriate context.'I promise to marry him',I pledge my devotion,I Vow never to marry ,Take this as a word of honour.All have different context and the words u've listed cant be replaced with one another,though vaguely the above words mean the same.The effectivity is lost when the synonyms are incorrectly placed.Each word has its strength when rightly used.

It is called a discourse analysis or critical textual analysis and it is complex issue. Many universities have a courses on it, so it is not so easy to give a couple of advices. However, the principle you can start with is to analyze sentence by sentence, word by word. First of all you need to define notions used in some speech like nation, democracy, freedom, collateral damage etc. Try to find their real meaning and compare its using in a concrete speech. You will be surprised how their meanings vary dependently of context they are used in and how authors manipulate with them. Good luck!

Sadly Ally H's sentance (sic) doesn't make sense.\nHowever, imagine a sign writer had written this pub sign:\n "TheCoachandHorses" with no gaps between words.\nYou'd have to tell the sign writer, "You've not left enough space between "Coach" and "and" and "and" and Horses." 5 in a row and making perfect sense.

When you quote or cite a writer's words but add emphasis (italics stressing a point), it's proper to state that the original writer didn't do this, but that you did.

Actually many authors do that. They write the end of the book or story and then work backwards. Most mystery books are written backwards.

I believe it is the intent of the person saying the word.  If someone is using it as an insult or to degrade another person, I think any word is inappropriate.
