Ok, you would not even qualify for his special ed class just for pointing out your idiocy.

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

and from my link? although its not a surprise that an extremist such as yourself will just flat out ignore something.... irregardless of it's relevance

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.

has your argument gotten so weak that you nit pick the authenticity of a word?

Go ahead and use that word at your next business meeting, and see the reaction you get.   

My debate with you at this particular time is this word, which you seem to be hung up on.  So are you not also guilty of nit picking the authenticity of a word?

I am also not an extremist.  You do not know my political stance on anything, so where do you come off as calling me an extremist?  Oh, I get it, because I post on a football message board you know me right?

Irrespective would have been a better word choice there.



Resume wankage...

Your doing anything you can to avoid a truth that makes you uncomfortable...

I could disregard your post because you did not capitilize the K in OK but that would be petty...

Not sure what you are talking about?

Yes, pointing out a typo is petty and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking you are clever.

you need some Hoyda dook....bad

Don't worry about using 'irregardless.'  The only people who would hold it against you are half-educated prigs who would rather lord their imagined intellectual superiority over you than acknowledge that what you have said was understood.

What about 3/4 educated prigs?  I never got my master's degree.

That's up to you, champ.

[General_Failure]

You're all fargin' retarded. Please continue with whatever the hell is going on here.

[Father Demon]

Damn.

I wish I was here for the irregardless vs. irrespective argument.  It was riveting.

To answer the question, retard:

No.  I took statistics last in 1992.  But I remembered enough in the last 14 years to remember that your argument was stupid.  That's the basis of my point, anyway.

Now, get back to being retarded.

And, to appease rjs, I'll shut up now.

17 soldiers killed since Tuesday.

[lies]Mission Accomplished.
Bring 'em on.
"Last throes."
They'll welcome us with flowers.
"smart" bombs.
WMDs
Iraq - Al Queda connection.
Iraqi oil will pay for the reconstruction.
We're there to get Saddam out, then we can go.
We're there to establish democracy, then we can go.
The U.S. doesn't torture.
The Iraqi people are better off now.
The world is safer because the U.S. invaded Iraq.[/lies]


I wish the U.S. would re-establish the draft.  Then you'd see how popular this war really is.   If you think this country was in turmoil when Americans dodged the Vietnam draft, kick one off for this disaster.  There aren't enough cops in all the world to round 'em up.

I reiterate, moron, that the bell curve does not apply very well to politics.  Take a poli-sci class and maybe then we can have a semi-intelligent conversation.
