Today, I was chatting online with a guy I really like, when he used the word "irregardless." I couldn't help but mention how little sense it makes, since it's a combination of two words meaning roughly the same thing. He replied, "lol what? your stupid." Jesus Christ. FML

Some people just don't want to admit they're wrong.

Maybe he actually meant "with regard." Seeing how it would be a double negative. He could be the genius.

Stop with the English lessons. Not everyone speaks like Stephen Fry, and not everyone cares. Language changes and evolves all the time. You grammer nazis would have had Shakespeare shot for inventing new words.

Funny thing is that irregardless is recognized in the dictionary. So technically, you're wrong

It's recognized as non-standard in most dictionaries. What's your point? What's she "wrong" about? Her only claim is that it doesn't make much sense. The word being in the dictionary doesn't change that. It's a bastard hybrid word that negates its own intended meaning.

Eurgh, this is a copy of another FML -.-

Did the guy really say "lol" in his response? I sure as hell hope not.

I didn't even catch that at first...that'd be kind of funny if he did though..haha

I hate when people say that. I bet when he first messaged her, he asked if they could "conversate."

Clearly you understood him, so there was no need to correct him. You're not the most perfect being on Earth so stop taking opportunities to put yourself above people. Also, irregardless is in the dictionary, and many people learn to say that instead of regardless. I'm not saying it's correct, I'm saying that you can't call him an idiot for using it.

Maybe you don't like him as much as you thought if you couldn't stop yourself from taking a poke at him.
