Happy Birthday, Jesus. You saved the world from itself. I'd say that's a pretty good way to be remembered.

HBD Big guy.

No, it's not "informal". It's flat-out wrong. There's a difference.

For example, "enthused" is thought by many to be informal, as it was not technically a word (though now, through common usage, it has actually become accepted as formal). Irregardless is simply incorrect by all accounts.

Oh and Waff, I'm curious as to how you got that figured out.

[Hellfighter 17]

"Irregardless" has come out through usage to be informal. Some may not like it because it has both "ir-" and "-less," but I like it.

[Bra]

...Irregardless is still wrong.

You liking it means nothing. XD

[Bra]

So you proved that dictionaries recognized it existed despite it not actually being a word?

Wow, dude. We already knew that. lmao

[Krillin]

Precisely. Even Wikipedia lists it as "non-standard".

In other words, you're perfectly free to say it all you want, but it is incorrect grammar, as bad as making a double negative.

Happy Birthday Jebus.

Except those ones with the all african-woman choirs that spend the entire time singing, while all the church-goers dance ridiculously, and Borat gurgles his throat as the priest has his hand on his forehead and bellows "JESUS WILL SAVE YOU!"

Way to read the whole article, Krillin and Bra.

[Krillin]

I DID read the entire article, and I did not read anything that I did not already know. Irregardless is an incorrect, non-standard word. I don't care if a bunch of people are using incorrect grammar, and through this widespread ignorance, it becomes a standard word.

I'm not exactly one to follow something incorrect just because everyone else is. If that's you, cool. But I like sticking to what's actually right.

[Burter]

Who cares? It's a fucking word.

[Hellfighter 17]

I care. O.o

[Grandpa Gohan]

No one else does though, so stuf.

And stop spamming the damn thread. >=O

I know its asylum, bit still damn it >.>

[Super Buu]

Whilst we're on the topic of grammatically incorrect words/phrases becoming commonly used due to widespread ignorance, how about FOR FREE! ?. The 'for' is redundant. People still do it.

Just thought I'd mention that since everybody forgets that one. =(

HBD Jesus, even though your existence as told by teh biblez (hah, defeated thy loophole, Burter) is debatable and this is almost certainly not yo birthday. >_>

Of course modern dictionary publications will list it. Usualy, the grammatically-ignorant folk use it, and there are a multitude of ignorant folk in the USA. Not saying you're ignorant, HF, just saying the general people that use the word.

And edited professional prose simply shows that some people are willing to let their language become degraded. A sad, but true fact. 'Course, it's probably mostly the informal "professional prose" that contains this, but meh.

Besides, what exactly does it mean by "professional prose"? Are we talking novels? Then the author could simply be writing stylistically, or it could be contained in dialogue.

Your quote proved nothing. In fact, I read that very segment, and thought, "Yeah, this is probably what HF is talking about, and yeah, he'll probably quote it on me after I reassert my opinion. But oh well."

Exactly. I'll admit I don't have much evidence for my case, and I'll actually concede this point, but I stand by my assertion.

Nice job breakin' down my argument, though. *thumbs up*

[Krillin]

=o

I'm in shock. Like, honestly. I never thought I'd see you admit you were wrong.

I mean, I know conceding a point and being "wrong" are two different things, but still. Wow.
