Irregardless

[c.n.budz]

Yeah it did. I learned about googles back in elementary school which was longer than 15 years ago.

Irregardless, the amount of spelling mistakes and incorrect usage of different words in this thread alone irks me.

You probably learned about Googol, not Google

What I learned in school the other day...

My Econ Prof hates when people misuse the English language. His favorite "That being said" is his pet peeve. He went on a ten minute tirade about the proper term is "That said" so... That being said, I'll not use it anymore.

After you watch Marina, from "Hot for words" talk about it, you really really won't care so much any more. Irrespictive of it all, you'll be too fixated on watching her cleavage move as she speaks in her delicious accent.

I was able to watch that for a bit more than 1 minute before I became frustred that she still had her top on.

The one that gets me, and maybe it's just an Ohio redneck thing, is saying "I thought you was gonna..." instead of saying "I thought you were going to..."

One of the ladies that works for me says it all the time and it's all I can do to not go off on her.

I watched the entire thing waiting for her top to come off...

I watched her ****s moving the entire time...

 

[TexLaw]

I watched it on mute.

She has an accent though, which is nice...

Over the holidays I borrowed an Lcd Projector from work to watch a downloaded copy of Santa Claus Conquers the Martian's on the wall of my loft (I have 12' ceilings) after the movie I had a "hot for words" marathon... Let's just say that the "mountains" look even more magnificiant on an 8'X8' image.

I prefer "that having been said". Wannafightaboutit?

I dont mind people pointing out the proper use of the english language but I have a real problem when they become high and mighty about it. I espescially hate it when they draw a correlation between grammatical skills and lack of intelligence.

We had an engineer who did this exact sort of thing. He couldnt design his way out of a wet paper bag but if he saw a typo or gramatical error he would flip.
We could not have fired his butt fast enough....


The grammar police can bite my bag.

The grammar police can bite my bag.

I came here to say this and to add:

Read old english sometime. MOST of the things people say today were meaningless hundreds of years ago. Language is not a static thing.

I went to school in western Maryland, and everyone up there has a SERIOUS problem matching their correct past tense verbs. Not a single day went by when I did not hear:

...would have went...
...would have ate...

My sig other is from there, and it drives me insane sometimes. But then again he also tried to use the phrase "laminated" to mean a thought had really gelled in his mind... At least he's cute and likes my beer.

Touché, sir, touché.

I'm pretty sure miss thing there started a sentence with "but". When I was is grade school, that was verboten. The rules are changing, I hear. But what about it?

I also find it quite amusing that someone went off on a drunken rant about speaking correctly.

Speaking of drunken rants ...whatever happened to the deal with the couch on your porch?

 

[sudsmonkey]

Here I was. Saw this thread and was ready to jump up somebody's butt over some grammar. Discretion being the better part of something, I checked Webster's. You have a damn good point there! Glad I looked it up first.

Oh you're so on!!! Bring it! I've got a brand new thesaurus standing by... (I better get a dictionary as well... I had to look up the word "thesaurus" to write this post...lol)

Did you know that "Thesaurus" is Latin( I think) for "treasure"?

Somethin', huh? I'm just a fountain of trivia( useless knowledge).

You know, if you tilt your laptop monitor you STILL can't see down her top.

 

[EvilTOJ]

When I saw the word in the thread title, I thought "oh man, he'd better be ranting about how irregardless isn't a word, or I'm going to call him a cock!" Thankfully, you are not, cheezydemon.

For me, something that really chaps my wookie is the way you Easterners say the word Oregon. It's OR-a-GHEN. Say it slow; ORYGUN.

NOT OR A GONE!

THERE'S NO MOTHER#%&TING "e" ON THE END OF IT, YOU SONS OF A @(!@*LESS GOAT!!!! I LIVE HERE YOU DON'T I WIN U SUCK!!


Ahhhhh. Much better now.

I've lived in Cincinnati most of my life and the one I'll never understand:

I say something to a Cincinnatian and they don't hear/understand me, so they say, "Please?"......... So I'm thinking, "Please..... what? That's not a question you ******. If you didn't hear me, say something like, 'I'm sorry, what did you say' or 'I couldn't hear you' or 'I don't understand'"

 

[McCall St. Brewer]

Nuclear is pronounced "NEW-CLEAR." Not "NEW-kew-luhr."

Once again, repeat after me: "NEW-CLEAR!"

Ooooh that makes me mad. George Bush is one of the worst offenders with that one.

Oh, and another one: I'm from Wisconsin. That's WIS, with an "I" in it. I'm NOT from "WES-consin." I don't care how long you look at the word. There's no friggin' "E" in that name anywhere!

Okay, one more here. In written English: "Man, your a really nice person." It's "you're," stupid! It's a friggin' contraction, for cripe's sake! Where were you during your first 5 years or so of school?

Lastly, I think that "We should have went to the store earlier" is really one that bugs me, too. What's so hard about getting your verb tenses right? If you can remember how to talk in the first place, why can't you remember "we should have gone?"

 

[EvilTOJ]

That reminds me, McCall, I hate it when people write out "would of" and "could of" instead of the proper terms, "would've" and "could've". I just want to smack the bitch out of people sometimes.

Well, for me this thread is actually good news because it looks like I don't have to worry at all about spelling or grammar... .

Then, ofcourse, you should never forget you probably have the most versatile and usefull word of all languages:

Oh man, could you imagine hearing ms "Hot For words" doing a lesson on the f word!?!

[cheezydemon]

irregardless of what you say I say it's a word.


irregardless



Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

That is cool, but your "source" fails to give a definition. The prefix "irri" negates whatever comes after. WTF is the opposite of regardless? It may have a meaning, but then people like you are using it wrong. And why have a word that YOU think means the same thing but is longer to write and say than the original word?

 

[Evan!]

WTF is the opposite of regardless?

Um, regardful?

 

[cheezydemon]

Um, regardful?

RIGHT!! So it means the opposite of what all of these douchbags use it for!

Oh wait! So Superiorbrew was actually saying that my rant was good....NAH!

MEANING is more important than anything. If the prefix "irre" no longer has any meaning, then you have declared literary anarchy.

AND IF IT HAS NO MEANING.....WHY DO YOU USE IT?????

Irregardless of what you all irrethink it irrereally is an irrefarging irreirritation.
