There is one expansion feature that will be implemented into non-expansion, and ironically, that's level 70. :P

He'll be getting shit exp, but he'll actually be leveling up in Molten Core and Blackwing Layer.

I don't see how that's ironic...

I don't think it really matters.

I'm positive I read somewhere that you don't, but eh.

See, that's where you go look for that article so you don't look like you're just speculating.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I do.

It was ironic, to me, that the first reason to get Burning Crusade that Blaze defended was the one reason you don't need to get it. :)
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

That's coincidental, not ironic.

Coincidental is what ironic means...

No, it's not.  They're two different words with two different definitions.

m-w.com:

Quote
1 : resulting from a coincidence <a coincidental resemblance>
2 : occurring or existing at the same time <coincidental deaths>

Quote
3 a  (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result

Ironic implies a specific sort of coincidence, as your definition states.

Quote
   coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner.

Perhaps this article will better help you understand: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/i.html

Quote
Resist the impulse to refer to things that are merely coincidental as ironic.
