    The video makes me angry……sort of :shock:

    Okay, gonna address the below comments in order because I know some of them, then make my own :)

    vezen: Irrigation is ‘irrigate’ and ‘tion’ (Or whatever, it’s a suffix, dunno how it’s normally written). It’s not ‘ir’ and ‘rigation’. To irrigate something means to supply it with water.

    prospero811: irrefutable is ir + refutable. Refutable is refute + able. There is no ‘fute’. To refute something means to overthrow it by argument, evidence, or proof.

    boilerpsycho, senior, and beezhan: AGREED.

    I can’t stand ‘irregardless’ and I cringe when people use it as well. It’s the same with ‘flammable’, which you covered earlier. Inflammable is inflame + able, not in + flammable. You can’t flame something, you inflame things. -.-

    Trial and escaping the “a” revels 159,118 attemps to insure a playpen irregardless of the condition written by the manufacturer. Just as the day was I learned to share! Did they give “us” ribs to teeth on! Who are they anyway.

    THANK YOU! Someone needed to say it. Irrespectiveless of the few who support the use of irregardless, I must respectfully support your regard for correct usage (regardless of what those others may say)!

    5 stars for all of Marina’s videos. It is amazing to know most words do not mean what everyone is used to thinking.

    I cringe every time I hear this word. :mad: Years ago I would correct people by stating that the word is a double negative. :shock: But overtime I have given up and just consider people who use this word not completely educated!! :roll:

    I can’t stand “irregardless.” It’s almost as annoying as using the wrong form of “there,” “your,” or “its.”

    beezhan replied on April 26th, 2008 8:17 am:

    or “to”.

    Some things are irrefutable. Other things are refutable. But is anything actually futable in the first place?

    Regardless of the popular misuse of irregardless, don’t do it! There should be criminal penalties for those who murder language.

  10. roachmeistercom on April 5th, 2008 4:45 pm

    Sure, irregardless should be a word. Just about every week do you not point out how words get combined and mixed, and morph into new usages?

    Holy Buttershit! Don’t be so mean to irregardless… :sad:

  11. vezen on April 3rd, 2008 2:45 am

    Okay, irregular and irresponsible make sense, but what about irrigation? And why doesn’t “unless” mean more!
