My expectations

Should I aim higher?

He's doing his best
to say 'good job', and failing.
Is that ironic?

"No more and no less
than what good ole Duden sez"
for us Powerkrauts
Spoiler: show

Actually the Duden is primarily accepted as an authority on orthography and grammar, but the entries do state definitions, etymology etc. etc. as well (depending on which volume of the œuvre you're perusing), so.
