[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

""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."""

NP. I argued with my high school English teacher about this. His closing argument was, "His class, his rules." Ergo, I don't use irregardless despite its usage in the common vernacular. [/quote]

Well, that is also true. I have nitpicky little rules in my classes (college) that I also enforce. But I do not look down on my students if they use [b]irregardless.[/q[/b]uote]

I do.  Irregardless is not a word.[/quote]
