There is no irony. I am the exact opposite of a pedant, in fact I get
annoyed with people correcting my spelling or apostrophes. I don't
care if someone writes their instead of they're by mistake. But there
are certain things Americans say (like "my bad") which make absolutely
no sense. My bad judgement? My bad luck? It could mean one of a
number of completely different things.
