--is a word. Irregardless is not. Despite the overwhelming compulsion around these here parts to start off ponderous sentences with the phrase, "Irregardless of how you feel--" it is STILL not a word.
Think I'm annoyed? I am. I had an editor reject a short story of mine today with the phrase *irregardless of the fine quality of your writing style...*
So tell me, pig, exactly HOW did you become an editor anyway? Hmmmm? It certainly didn't evolve from your stellar grades in post-graduate English studies, did it? Regardless of your pedigree, you obviously are misemployed.
Hmmph.
So the new house deal is SLOWLY creeping to a conclusion -- allegedly.
I'll beleive it when I see it. All I see right now is LOTS of boxes. Oh, and very active cats. Did you know that, regardless of how you try, you can't prevent a cat from trying to see what's inside a closed and sealed box?
More interesting news--my daughter broke up with her psycho-pig boyfriend this weekend THANK GOD. Regardless of the fact that he called her cell phone NINETY times in TWELVE hours this weekend to harass her, she decided that a long-distance relationship with a psychotic stalker boyfriend was an undesirable thing at the moment.
Thank you, gods. I might have to light a fire or two to celebrate, regardless of the forest fire woes ongoing in other, less damp parts of the country.
And then, regardless of what anyone else says, my mother-in-law is extremely annoying.
Get the point? Irregardless of whether you do or not, I did. *grin*

Irregardless of the fine quality of your writing style? Oh dear god, which market was this so that I may mock them accordingly?
Please, do tell us, if not here, then over at DD where it's not publicly accessible.
Best of luck with the moving!
You spelt "believe" wrong... :P hehehe... irregardless of your triumph speech about proper english!
HAHAHA
a couple of point, Sam:
first off, I don't BELIEVE I ever claimed to have perfect grammar. Perhaps next time, read the blog before you make a smartass comment.
second off, I think you wanted to use the word 'triumphant' as opposed to triumph. Triumph is a noun, triumphant is an adjective, which most grammarians customarily use to modify nouns i.e. - speech.
Thanks for playing. Let me know when you have more ammunition.
Geez, i hope you didn't take me seriously! And I had purposely made the errors in my own reply. Lighten up, please.
As an alternative to diplomacy, Sam, you could've pointed out that it's a couple of points, not "point".
**hides the wooden spoon**
Who's stirring what now?
