[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your educational level, OP? I am asking because I noticed you used "irregardless" in an earlier post. [/quote]

Not, OP, but I AM a linguist, and your poor attempt at shade isn't even rooted in knowledge. Some snoots have taking umbrage  mean a word that has been in use for over 200 years isn't a word.

https://www.npr.org/2020/07/07/887649010/regardless-of-what-you-think-irregardless-is-a-word#:~:text=Merriam%2DWebster%20defines%20irregardless%20as,intensifier%2C%22%20the%20dictionary%20writes.

""Irregardless is included in our dictionary because it has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795," the dictionary's staff wrote in a "Words of the Week" roundup on Friday. "We do not make the English language, we merely record it."""

[/quote] Lot's of people use "ain't" and incorrectly use "don't" and "literally". Those words are also in the dictionary, but that doesn't mean their useage is correct. Being in the dictionary is a pretty low bar, and Merriam Webster clearly states it's a nonstandard word.[/quote]

Do you alway correctly use less and fewer? Do you think people who use them incorrectly are of a lower education level and does it matter that linguists don't take issue with it?

Your attempt at calling OP out is obnoxious and honestly just makes you look like the last grammar lesson you had was in high school. [/quote]
