Is the worst local job better than the best OTR job?

Yes it is a a live language, the trick is that not just anything can be a proper word. The prefix IR means not, so whatever it directly precedes is effectively reversed in meaning. E.g. to say that something is irrelevant is to say that it is NOT relevant. Thusly, to say irregardless is to say NOT regardless. Long story short, irregardless is an antonym of regardless yet they are defined the same. It is a word but it has no use whatsoever and when it is used it is only as an antonym of itself. One can't simply make a word proper because #Murica F@#$ Yeah!!

Anyways...

 

Give it time. I and the forum software already know what those words are. I might not find it on Websters dictionary but I can in the urban one. Or soon will be.
If Websters does not play along it will become insignificant. Just like Encyclopedia Brittanica.

 

...and the suffix LESS means without. Both "IR" and "LESS" are negatives. When using two negatives in this way they cancel each other out (so to speak), the bastardized word irregardless actually means to "REGARD". It isn't so much that it is not a word, but rather an incorrect usage. I was told this in an English class, by an English professor, back in college, circa '86.

 

i was told the same thing in Newburyport HS in 1970 but I was told a lot of things in 1970 that do not mean much today. The English language has been bastardized since its inception. I don't believe anyone talks today much like my ancestors from England did 370 years ago

 

Which is, admittedly, a pity... English a few hundred years ago is quite...oh I don't have the right word but I like how it sounds.

 

I like how it sounds coming off Sonya Walger's lips

 

Get a Kleenex...you're drooling.

Methinks it's not her eloquent use of the English language you're after.

 

your smarter then i look
does your MaMa call you Sunny?

 

Depends upon how much trouble im in. Usually she just shakes her head and says she's glad God broke the mold when he made me!

 

sheesh, yeah, I just looked it up too...
