The true meanings of things are often proven in their effects. The effect of irony and satire is exactly to make things easier to hear and say whether it be using humor or some other tool. Once again you skirt around effects. Without effect, words are no different from breath. It is important to be aware of the effects of your words both from your perspective as well as that of your audience.
