Now on to pronunciation my fellow canucks: It's asphalt as in "assfault", NOT as in "ashfault" It's probably (sound the second , NOT probaaly Lesson over.

Kip Powick Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 J.O. Irregardless, I don't think its' a good idea ..... From a language debate on the Net........... <<<<<<<<<<<<Irregardless This is a word used by stupid American's. They mix words together in much the same way as you see their rather poorly educated President, Mr Bush, make up words on the spur of the moment. If you examine any sentence where someone uses the word "irregardless" and you replace it with the word "regardless" then the sentence means exactly the same thing. It is therefore a totally superfluous word and is actually a fantastic way of spotting a dumb-ass. Another word that helps you spot a dumb-ass is supposedly (where the actual word is supposedly). There are many other examples used mostly by dumb Americans >>>>>>>>>> Heh-heh....regardless/irregardless..........flammable/inflammable Let the debates begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Cronin Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Flammable inflammable... that one always got me.... "either the thing flams or it doesn't"... no kidding! Why does incapable mean not capable, and incalculable mean not calculable, and indescribable mean not describable... etcetera!... but inflammable means the flippin' thing will burn, which is just what flammable means, of course!? That's just goofy. I sometimes think a comedian was on the loose when the rules of the English language were hatched. ....to wit: · We must polish the Polish furniture. · He could lead if he would get the lead out. · The farm was used to produce produce. · The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. · The soldier decided to desert in the desert. · This was a good time to present the present. · A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. · When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. · I did not object to the object. · The insurance was invalid for the invalid. · The bandage was wound around the wound. · There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. · They were too close to the door to close it. · The buck does funny things when the does are present. · They sent a sewer down to stitch the tear in the sewer line. · To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. · The wind was too strong to wind the sail. · After a number of injections my jaw got number. · Upon seeing the tear in my clothes I shed a tear. · I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. · How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

DEFCON Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 "irregardless" I've been "told"; in spite of being slang, the use of “irregardless” is now so common, it's officially being considered for acceptance as an actual word? For that matter, “MS Spell Check” doesn’t flag it either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
