[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."""

New poster here. No one I know ever uses that word. 4 years of college here and most people I know have that much or less.[/quote]
