No, It's Not A Ponzi Scheme ...

Now if all Forum members can try to use this word at least once every day, and if they can get two others to so the same, and if they can get two others to do the same, etc., etc., then we'll get, "Groovy", right back into circulation. It never should have left everyday language usage to begin with.

Not so with irregardless. I have never seen a credible grammar source or dictionary--and I have looked extensively--that suggests "irregardless" is accepted or interchangeable with "regardless." All recommend, much like the Oxford dictionary: "Irregardless is widely heard, perhaps arising under the influence of such perfectly correct forms as irrespective , but should be avoided by careful users of English. Use regardless to mean ‘without regard or consideration for’ or ‘nevertheless’." It is however, clearly understood what the user is saying when they say "irregardless," and it is boorish to correct the user. But I think it would be GROOVY if we all used the more proper word. Oh, and I didn't make a pre-season prediction, but 3 Ts. 2 for substitutions, 1 for unsportsmanlike spiking the ball after a call. |

There it is. If you put "ir" before a word, it becomes that word's opposite (e.g. irrational, opposite of rational). When one says "irregardless," one means "regardless." That alone is wrong... or irrational.

Out Of Africa ...
Not a language. Not a country, but we all come from there. All of us. Every single one of us. We are all cousins. No two people are more distantly related than 50th cousins.

When he threw the ball at me after the period ended, I could only think that if this was his way of thanking me for being preventative, he could have the T-party I prevented the moment before. Of course, his coach tried telling my partner how the kid was the most docile player on the team. ![]() Quote:

I did not keep track of mine, but I was at about 7.
In church league, I whacked a coach, 2 kids. In HS, I whacked a coach who wanted to be "T"ed, An assistant & I whacked a kid for cussing. I also got a MS Assistant coach. I have learned the art of patience....I hope. In past years I have been around 20. |
