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

Same thing different taste

Today, I was chatting to a co-worker, upon whom I have a serious crush. It was going really well, until he said "irregardless", as if it's actually a proper word. This grammatical abomination really ticks me off, and I actually had to fight back the urge to beat some damn sense into him. FML

Proper banter

By AnhHung123 - 20/12/2020 16:58

Today, I was on a chat site and a couple of cute guys asked for my "ASL". I had no idea what that meant so I asked one of my cousins. He said it meant "asshole" and that they were calling me an asshole. So I cursed at everyone who was actually asking for my "age, sex and location." FML

Today, I yet again heard a friend say "YOLO" as if it's a word. It was so annoying that I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face and offering him the chance to suck on one of my turds, since apparently "YOLO." FML

Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML

Childish

Today, I was talking to a guy when he pointed behind me and said, “Hey, what’s that?” I looked behind me and he burst out laughing, saying he “can’t believe I’m so stupid that I still fall for that old trick.” We were having a conversation, not a physical fight. FML

Today, while talking to my boyfriend, he got upset and accused me of making up words to make him feel stupid. All because I used the word "vapid." FML

Today, I was talking to an attractive guy, but I was so nervous that I got tongue-tied and then blurted out, "Stupid autocorrect." FML

Dealbreaker

Today, I was talking online to this guy, and everything was great. He then sent a voice message and his accent was a deal breaker. FML

He does have a point

Today, I texted someone and typed, "lol". My boyfriend asked me why I put "lol". I told him because I thought it was funny. He looked at me weird and said, "But you didn't laugh." Now he thinks I'm weird because I didn't actually laugh out loud. FML

Today, I was in a big Skype chat, which somehow turned into a heated argument. My friend lost it, typed "your stupid" and called me a "looser." When I pointed out the irony of his messages, he rage-quit, drove all the way to my house, and punched me in the face at the door. FML

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

No your not stupid, but calling someone out on the use of a word is petty. Your intelligent? Fine. But no reason to shove it onto someone who isn't quite so. It makes you look like an ass. Ydi.

I think he must have been trying to say irrelevant and tried to switch it to regardless halfway through but despite that he shouldn't have said what he did. Maybe he really is that stupid.

I see a lot of butthurt people in the comments who don't like being corrected. Seriously, if you're wrong, then just suck it up. Honestly, it's better than living in ignorance.

most of us have two maybe three sets of language that we use. the social language set people use is the least likely to conform to a language ruleset and do you know what? it really doesn't matter if you spell something wrong or get your prefixes correct because it is the internet. as long as we switch the proper rules of writing back on for the correct circumstances then we will be fine. people who need to prove they are intelligent all the time really aren't

Y'all needa shut up w/ this grammar crap...If u are too bothered by the word "Irregardless" that you complain about it to the guy you like and that u think it's even remotely close to being worthy enough to put on FML, u needa grow up and get your priorities straight. Jesus Christ...

There is a difference between creating new words to fill a gap and bastardising current words when we already have a way to say what the new word would mean.
