Ever since I saw Pete Holmes doing a bit as Batman saying it, I started using irregardless a lot, some people (two) get very mad at it.

I think irregardless is a funny word, but I mention what it means vs regardless to people because those people in turn find it far more important than they really should (which is at all). Everyone knows what you mean by irregardless, it doesn't matter. But then people freak out when they catch themselves using it despite no one else caring lol

I absolutely promise you that people are sincerely way more annoyed and put off by you talking to them about this than catching themselves saying it in the future. You're just forever 'that guy that talks about words and poo poo' to them.

Actually nah. I only mention it to friends to start. I offhand mentioned it to a housemate once a year ago and haven't mentioned it since and she's made it a big thing whenever she says it. I just thought it was interesting, same as overwhelm meaning the same as whelm.

Sometimes I just like little facts ya know? Not everything is a huge mystery. I also wouldn't be opposed to being the girl that talks about words and poo poo tho :kimchi:

irregardless of all that how would you feel about a giant sperm that comes out screaming and terrified in addition to how it's already been described because I have some fun new news to share

A terrified sperm is a patriotic sperm.
