Adam, for being English, and your uh.... colorful... way of speaking, we should make Brad chat with you for an hour, by the end of the hour, you will either notice silence, or screams. Heck, I would buy a ticket for that, but can't afford it since I bought a new/used watch recently.

Sure, my Grammer was German, but that Nazi thing?...never proven.

I can be a bit of a spelling Nazi, the new texting abbreviations drive me nut sometimes. There's a fishing bulletin board on which I participate, and the abuse of the English language there would make my 7th grade English teacher cry.

Lol at the entire thread. I really mean; this entire thread is so funny that I find myself laughing out loud due to all of the grammatical discrepancies contained throughout the thread, which undermine the original poster's intention(s).

I've always loved reading things like this. It is amazing what the mind can process. I'm a bit a grammar Nazi myself. I drive my wife crazy because I'm forever correcting the spelling and grammar of her emails and text messages. I hate seeing l8tr, u, or any other "text" words. Typing Y-O-U isn't that much more work that just U.

Irregardless is legitimate..regardless means "without regard to" so irregardless means"Not without regard to"...do the math...there is a paperback book titled "Eats,Shoots,and Leaves",you will enjoy,on the cover is a Panda with a gun...the book is about the incorrect use of punctuation and syntax,,,,you will love it...

According to Bryan A. Garner's "The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style"...

Irregardless, a semiliterate Portmanteau Word from irrespective and regardless, should have been stamped out long ago. But it's common enough in speech that it has found its way into all manner of print sources--e.g.: "Irregardless of the Big Ten outcome, Knight said he is gratified with IU's improvement over last season" (Louisville Courier-J.). 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.
