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?

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.

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.

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.
Me and six of my buds were holding down this girl and taking turns on her, she was not happy and said 'we were wrong to be doing this'. :rolleyes: :pac:

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"
