Althought this widely scorned NONWORD seems unlikely to spread much more than it already has, careful users of language must continually swat it when they encounter it.
Well done!!

I hate seeing irregardless. It is definitely one of my English pet peeves.

Lumped in here, I think. We (speaking in the Royal Sense, of course), wouldn't want to clog up the Nuthouse with too much superfluous banter.

FYI: Grispy: A term used to describe ones goofy, but Krispy looking clothes , shoes, hat etc. Usually complementing someones ridiculous freshness and/or good looks. Combining Goofy and Krispy gets you Grispy.

What superfluous banter. Most of it is barely fluous.

Default Re: Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while

Spelling and grammar in a resume are crucial. In a forum like this, not so much. But I still hate it when people talk about their "pallets" in reference to cigar flavor. If you have a pallet in your mouth you should probably see a doctor. Or a dock worker maybe?

Default Re: Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while

I be's a ninth grade grammer teecher, but I hates using me some proper grammer when I talk. I's gots me a Southern dialect and is proud of it.
I do use proper grammar when talking in many situations, (such as when speaking in a professional setting, church, and in business matters) but I turn the dialect back on when I'm around friends and family. I guess that makes me bi-dialectal.

BTW, if Eye-talian is the way that Archie Bunker says it, then it must be the correct usage.

Thats just the way some people seem to type around here. No capitals and no attention to spelling or what they are actually writing, makes it worthless to try to follow some folks posts.
