Words

According to dictionary.com:

irregardless

adv : regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

or...when you're at a store and the cashier says 'can i help who's next?'

it doesn't make any sense!!!!!

---

Why?

Posted by JeanineHubert

my mom always adds an 'r' to words like...

TOIRLET

---

My Grandmother adds an 'r' to words too. I especially love 'warsh' instead of 'wash'. She also pronounces that days of the week in an odd way. She pronounces the 'day' part as 'dee'

'I did the warsh on Mondee.'

Why?

because it should be
'Can I help the next person?'
or
'Can I help whoever is next?'

'It's a moo point! Like a cow's opinion! It doesn't matter, it's moo! '

My cousin always used to say 'sudden of all' instead of 'all of a sudden'

And over here people seem to use the verb 'commentate' and it drives me nuts a commentator doesn't commentate, he comments!!!

and omg...I hate when people try to use a catch phrase & screw it up...

like 'Now we are cooking with fire.' OK, we always cooked with fire...it was the significant turning point for man to become of higher intelligence than other mammals.....the phrase is 'Now we are cooking with gas.'

'Beggers can't be choosy' ....um it's 'Beggars can't be choosers'

AND my all time favourite 'Nothing for nothing...'

Ironical? The misuse of the word 'irony' in general kills me. Thank you Alanis Morrisette - now that you have billions of dollars, buy a dictionary.
