the vote should be titled, "vote for the thread of the year out of the ones i , gonzo, like irregardless of the memberships choices".
this vote, in its present form, is a hollow farce.

Regardless.

[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

a specious argument at best. irregardless is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel.
SERVED!!

- Arpikarhu - 01-09-2005
this vote is in total disarray!! its anarchy!!!!!
- Galt - 01-09-2005
I refuse to retract my Grumpy Gillis vote for the vacationing thread. In fact, I put double emphasis on the Grumpy Gillis thread. Gooch was made to look the fool. Gonzo fought Keyser. Seph posted.
- Arpikarhu - 01-09-2005
irregardless of your opinion, enough people have changed votes and/or expressed dismay at the omittance of the vacation thread to warrant a new vote.
- GonzoStyle - 01-09-2005
great, you all gave him a new gimmick to latch onto for the next 4 months.
- Arpikarhu - 01-09-2005
stop avoiding the subject.

Why take pride in it?

Do you also use the phrase "couldn't care less" to show your complete apathy? Why not just go all the way and post in ebonics?
- Arpikarhu - 01-09-2005
i shall continue to use irregardless irregardless of your opinion on irregardless.
- Arpikarhu - 01-09-2005
also "couldn't care less" is correct. it is "could care less" that you should have used as an example.
- GonzoStyle - 01-09-2005
You know what, I will be fair...
