Isn't the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?

Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it's incomplete or actually complete?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I meant to say that part is already a complete sentence.

Now, I'm not as much of a grammar nerd as I'd like to be, but from what I understand, "irony right there" isn't a complete sentence, or barely even a complete clause. It's just a few words that should be part of a clause.

Maybe someone could fill in the grammatical details here, or prove me wrong.

I guess if he wrote "That's irony right there", it would be easier to consider it a complete sentence, so maybe you're right.

Yes – exactly! I think that's actually the missing part here: "That's". It makes the following thing they say sound much more complete. 👍 Thank you!
