What is the most misused word in the English Language?


The most misused word in the English Language is Irony. So what is irony? Irony occurs when a "state of affairs or an event seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is wryly amusing as a result." (according to the Oxford English Dictionary). An example of irony is: in the McDonalds employee health page, which is now shut down, employees are warned against eating McDonalds hamburgers and french fries.
