Pretending to be funny Sometimes I can't stop playing with words. I know I shouldn't do that, expecially in a foreign language which I can't control properly, but sometimes I can't get out of doing that! I wrote to a friend of mine pretending to be funny: "Ok, I guess it's to much knowing Tarkovsky's 1979 masterpiece Stalker... USSR film... you know... but forgetting Blade Runner... where do this people live? I've watched some other their top ten list... They are so ingnorant! They need to carry a gps to come back at home!" Is there any kind of irony left? (the worst question, I know...) Please correct this text. Thanks.

Pretending to be funny

Sometimes I can't stop playing with words. I know I shouldn't do that, expecially in a foreign language which I can't control properly, but sometimes I can't get out of stop myself from doing that!

---------------------
(to get out of is to try to avoid doing something, you conosider unpleasant and don't want to do)

---------------------
I wrote to a friend of mine pretending to be funny:
"Ok, I guess it's to too much knowing Tarkovsky's 1979 masterpiece Stalker... USSR film...

---------------------

too much knowing? unclear, but I will guess you want to say "I guess it is too much to expect them to know" film x

---------------------

you know... but forgetting Blade Runner... where do this these people live?

I've watched some other their top ten list...

---------------------

'watch' is not for reading - if you are reading the lists you mention. If not, then "I've seen some other FILMS on their top ten lists.

---------------------

They are so ingnorant! ignorant. They need to carry a gps to come back at home!"

---------------------

ahaha funny! But 'come back' is towards you, otherwise normally it owuld be 'go back' home, but in the context 'get back home' is right - because it is a challenge for them, they are so lost! ahah

---------------------

Is there any kind of irony left? (the worst question, I know...)

---------------------

Maybe it is a bad question only because it is unclear ;) Maybe you want to say

"Is there any (appreciation of) irony left (in the world?)
---------------------

mi piace quello di usare un GPS ahaha
