[Anonymous]

Well, understanding is not the measure of grammar. So many educated people say this! If I said “I gots to be going to school”, I’d know what you meant, but it would be horrible grammar.

I’m assuming you’re joking, as ”irregardless” is very poor grammar. The proper word is “regardless”.

If you're assuming I'm joking, then why point out the poor grammar?

This. “I was graduated from college in 1995.”

Except the only people who say it that way were graduated from college in 1955.

I always thought the “graduated high school” usage was regional. I never heard it until I moved to the northeast and then mid Atlantic. I grew up in the West and never heard it there.

I grew up here (DC) and didn't hear this until I graduated FROM college myself. Never growing up.

It drives me bonkers, too, OP.

I grew up in New York and lived in New England for 20 years. I have never heard this said in IRL. Also find it odd.

Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Methinks you should let something with more gravity drive you crazy.

There's a local commercial where we live where the man says "this is an announcement to remind . .. "
no indirect object, not ' "to remind you" or 'to remind you of'.

I've noticed we also occasionally get a call from our doctors office where the secretary says "I'm calling to remind about your appointment on Tuesday". Drives me batty!

I also hate those situations where the incorrect grammar
becomes the norm (i.e. "I literally jumped out of my skin." Really, so now you're just standing there in the living room bleeding to death?)
