xfedaykinx Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 "irregardless" is not a word well, it is, its just not proper speech. an abomination if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 What about pine shells? Fine wells? Details? Sprewells? Free wheels? Three squeals? She heals or tree feels? And for that matter what about waxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivsavage Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I stand corrected: 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.

adambomb Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I don't mean to sound like a douche, but anytime I see the word " vinyl" I automataclly think of euros and the green customs forms I have to fill out to ship said " vinyl" out.

tim Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have to add my own pet peeve to this: people who say "vinyl" is the plural of "vinyl". Vinyl doesn't have a plural. It's a non-count noun so it takes a partitive noun like "pieces of vinyl" that can be made plural. Just like "water" is not the plural of "water" and "air" is not the plural of "air". I have a million grammar pet peeves. I'm a grammar and writing teacher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytumult Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I hate when people mess up you're/your and they're/there/their. Word. Using incorrect homonyms really chaps my ass, especially when they're used in an e-mail sent to you by a girl who is trying to tell you thanks but no thanks for offer to go out for coffee. As in, she said "Your real nice but..." I'd like to think I dodged a bullet with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 thanks for a true and new knowledge for me. 1 record = record,1+ records = records 1 vinyl = vinyl and 1+ vinyl = vinyl okay,i understand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 ahhh, now i know why someone had highlighted my use of the word vinyl in one of the threads i had previously responded to. would never have thought using vinyl would cause so much pain and torment. i will never refer to multiple vinyl as vinyl again because using the word vinyl seems to piss so many people that are into vinyl right off.... ;-) i'd like to add that the phrase 'in terms of' really fucking pisses me off. go ahead, just count how many times this ridiculous phrase is used in your average day. i even heard one reporter say something like 'how much money was he earning, in terms of his annual salary?'. want to kill, maim and slaughter.

kyle Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 heres a simple yet highly irritating one:aks for ask that could just be a typo you know. No, people actually pronounce it like that while speaking. Its typically used by urban youth or stupid white hipsters who think they're being ironic.

hickey Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 "Supposably, I should of boughten a lot of vinyl from Vinyl Collective. Instead, I ate some shrimps for dinner then went to Barnes And Nobles, their I gained new appreesh for Starbucks coffee, even though there prices are a bit steep. Irregardless, when I was in the car, I got to here the new Bruce Springsteen single. When I got home, I logged back on to Vinyl Collective to see if the new Boss album was available, but it appeared their weren't eny left on hear. I guess I'll have to find the vinyl some wear else." That contains a lot of things that annoy me. But for fuck's sake, it's a god damn message board. People type fast. Who gives a fuck if they use correct grammar, spelling, etc...? I'm an editor and I don't care at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 To be fair I'm completly stupid when it comes to spelling and grammer. Which is actually really odd because I really enjoy writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadetapplesauce Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 my freshman year english teacher beat into our brains that it is spelled "grammar" and not "grammer." either way, i notice it when people say "vinyl" and not vinyl, but it doesn't piss me off. i'll correct them if we're having a conversation about them, but i don't get all worked up over it. i think most of us have said "vinyl" at one point or another, and had someone correct us. then we crawl back into our little hole, remember that it's "vinyl" and not "vinyl," and then give someone else shit for saying "vinyl." plus, you can't really blame someone for not knowing. it's not everyday that people talk about vinyl anymore. now it's all cds and mp3s, digital downloads, whatever. in conclusion, blame our english teachers. not the people who say it.
