New Word

"Irregardless" is a school superintendent's favorite non-word (I think its habitual use is in the job description). Imagine my dismay when I grabbed a new Webster's a few years ago.....and it's in there. Common misuse has led to the corruption of the language. Oh well, at least I have the luxury of being bothered by petty things.

If irreverent is the opposite of reverent, and irresponsible the opposite of responsible, is, therefore, irregardless the opposite of regardless?

no it's the same as regardless it is just presupposed by the ir to keep the words flowing.

did you know nouhmean is a sentence?
bad enough it's even used with all of the words every 4 seconds, but when it's broken down into one word it's the most aggravating sound on the planet.[yes that includes jim carry's screech sound]

Gary,
Looking at that chart, looks like the "disability" part is being associated with a stupid
chart like that.

My favorite is “nauseous”.If you are nauseous then it means you cause me to feel naseaated.

"I could care less" is one of my favorite head scratchers.

we could just duct tape some soda cans inside an armadillo shell and get maximum protection for the lowest cost.

Getting and armadillo out of that shell is a big PITA, way too much work to make
a hat. Gonna smell funny, too.

Brad, to say 'nauseous' you are required to hold your nose and affect a Brooklyn accent, from
my experience with "The Girls of South Florida"...... who are actually from NYC metro area somewhere, by the
accent.
I'll never forget getting breakfast at the dorm cafeteria about the second or third day of college
and hearing that loud, nasal NY area accent booming out across the room, (apparently no volume control
installed in that part of the country) "Hey, Edith, why do they have mashed potatoes for breakfast?", followed
by a lot of muffled laughter from the folks there at UF who were raised in the south and liked grits, and
could identify them, too.

man I ain't had a Lonestar since about 96.
I sweet talked the wife's uncle into mailing me a 12 pack for Christmas that year,,
it only cost me like 35$, but it made it in one piece with all 12 can's full, shipped in the carry case they provide at the factory wrapped in Christmas paper.
