Topics other than health and fitness will be discussed in the CHIT CHAT area of these boards. These will range from insignificant, flat out stupid, to drama queening inappropriateness.

I’m guessing criticism of your grammar is not what you were expecting when you started this thread. :ohwell:

Irreregardless not being a word is not a grammar issue.

I think Liam Neeson > Chuck Norris.

Actually irregardless is a word - it's just non-standard, according to Merriam Webster. Interesting. I thought it was a double negative.

Irregardless is not a word

Yes it is... just not a COMMONLY used word. It is in the dictionary...

"Irregardless" originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.

Just because your spell check puts a squiggly line under it, does not mean it is not actually a word. I can't stand the word either, but it is STILL a real word.

I'll accept that it's an erroneous word.
