I second that motion - in fact, we as umpires should be embarrassed at how we treat each other on this board. Some of you (and I can honestly say "you" because I don't take part in the mudslinging) lose perspective of the officiating relevence on this forum to argue over meaningless points (ie grammer, resumes, etc). Come on guys, let's do a gut check, leave the egos at the door and stick to the umpire related issues.

I'll agree with this to a certain level. I do know that when I hear someone say "irregardless" my opinion of that person goes down dramatically. Regardless of whether "irregardless" is in the dictionary, it is not considered correct usage.
As officials, it's our job to communicate well, at times, with coaches, players, ADs, etc. We should strive to communicate properly at all times. This includes proper grammar and proper word usage.
If others don't feel that's important, that's fine, too.
