Bad grammar will make heads explode.

I've been wanting to say something for years.

It's not "Bad grammar will make head's explode".

Rusnak, were you being intentionally obtuse with your use of "irregardless"???

""""
Irregardless is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795.[1] Most dictionaries list it as "nonstandard" or "incorrect" usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead

Or, perhaps one of the five platonic shapes...... In our English classes, we were always taught; "irregardless" ain't a real word.

I always use "disirregardless" - I feel the extra "dis" as a prefix negates the fact that irregardless is not a real word.

You might find the link hilarious. Dave Barry, Pulitzer Prize winning author, wrote a famous column about that. His humor is very dry.
