Pet Peeve

[deadbeat]

So, I cut the lawn today... after two weeks!

EEKS!

The last Wednesday at work, my direct supervisor used a word... Well, a non-word. Then later, my Instructor used the same non-word. Both times my hair stood on end as if someone dragged their nails across a blackboard.

The "word" you ask? Irregardless...

Irregardless is a word that many

My mom says that word. The problem is, she is usually saying it in the midst of saying something emphatic, and she hates to be corrected. She loves correcting my language, though.

So, next time she corrects you...

say: "Well, irregardless of what I said, you don't need to interrupt".

I hate that word !!!!! what exactly should the meaning be? When ever you use that word Irregardless, you can use regardless and have the same text meaning right?
But the immature brat I am I tend to use it on purpose around people I know it bothers........ I know I suck

[deadbeat]

I just try and ignore it when people use it around me. I know a lot of people that use it. Then again, I know a lot of people that think a lot of really weird things... :)

its one of those things that makes me want to jump in other peoples conversations and correct them when I over hear it!

Personally, I rather enjoy the feel and flow of that term.. I've a much better quote , than what follows, in support of its useage, but am unable to locate it, atm.. Will get back to you

I think it just sounds wrong... And... it "aint" a word :)
