Irregardless

Omackeral

No..... Just no. It does not make sense as a word.

Regard.

Regardless i.e. Without regard.

'Irregardless' i.e. Without without regard?

The amazing part is, even when I pointed this out to a fella in work, I was treated as the fool. 8 out of 10 people sided with him. This proved he was right apparently.

Have you ever had an instance when people outnumbered you and told you that in no uncertain terms you were the idiot despite the fact you knew otherwise?

YES.

Except I was arguing about the correct way to pronounce Segue, and I was totally wrong. So what the hell do I know.

If I was your boss I'd sack you for wasting time on silly arguments, then wasting even more time posting about them on boards, irregardless of the fact that you are quite correct about the word.

Guill

Absa-fúkin-posa-tively correct.

Oh, send him this link.

The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English.

The Oxford English dictionary is a higher authority than 8 of your workmates.

I was vehemently arguing about this before and it turned out I was completely wrong.
Seg-way - WTF?
I never use this word anymore because it's pronounced so stupidly
(I assumed it was 'seeg', similar to how fugue is pronounced)

The only thing worse than making an honest mistake like ''should of{sic}'' is misusing a big word and sounding like a pompous tit.

The idiots who say this are confusing "regardless" with "irrespective". Mish mashing the two words to create their own idiotic word which marks them out as a moron.

When I was about fourteen our school held a table quiz. I was looking forward to winning loads of money or great prizes but I made the mistake of teaming up with my friends who were all morons.

One of the questions that was asked was "what crop does the Colorado beetle destroy?". I thought it was an incredibly easy question because it was all over the news at the time. I immediately said "potato" but no one would listen to me and the team captain wrote down "corn". I got loads of other answers right but no one would listen to me about any of them. I think our team came last.

Twenty odd years later I still haven't forgiven the bastards.

You're assuming that the "ir" prefix always negates the word, like the "in" prefix does in words like "coherent" and "incoherent" ?

Flammable = "can take fire"
Inflammable, on the other hand........;)

It's not a great word, but you are still wrong.

Yes. It sucks when that happens.

Brothers and sisters I have none, but that man's father is my father's son. Who is that man?

The answer is my son but everyone agreed it was me.

10/10 people including the person who told us this gave the wrong answer and said I was the idiot.

What I really hate is people saying "I seen" and "I done" instead of "I saw" or "I did"
