There is no irony here. I would have had to make a similar mistake in grammar rather than just spelling mistake in the worst case scenario; or trusting that the original person in question spelled the name of a foreign prep school correctly in the best case scenario. Notice, neither of the two possibilities satisfies the criterion for irony provided for you in the second sentence.
Perhaps, the guy with the bald headon your page can help, but you have to ask.
On a related note, I think that I should provide some needed remediation on your own illustrious grammatical contribution. First, 'school' isn't a verb and so you shouldn't use it as one. Second, since the last subordinate clause is being used to explain the 'whole' independent clause that precedes it, you should have used a colon rather than a semicolon. Lastly, you should have used a coordinating conjunction between the two 'Etons'. Check!
Well, you must be easily amused. Regarding Eton, if I recall correctly, the person with whom I was having the conversation spelled it that way. Should I have check it? Yes. Now, let's just say for the sake of argument that I just misspelled it. That is easy to do and constitutes a mistake rather than a fundamental lack of understanding of how words function in sentences; and based upon that, the correct placement of those words. If you don't know the difference, then you never will.
@mathproof I find it highly amusing that you 'school' another here on their supposed lack of grasp of the English language by making a slight about the school they attend, then fail to even spell it correctly; it's 'Eton', not "Eaton'...
