Has anyone pointed out that this isn't how karma works yet?

Karma is generally accepted by people as being "what goes around comes around". It's probably not how it was intended or is accepted as elsewhere, but this inherited meaning is so ingrained that it being incorrect, as far as its intended meaning is concerned, is unlikely to make much difference. I think that, instead of this potentially turning into a nit-picky debate over what karma is and/or isn't, it might be easier to let it lie.

Yes, but would it be Websters Ironic, Alanis Ironic, or the mish-mashed generally accepted vague definition Ironic?
