    I used to love that one when I was in school. "Can I borrow a sheet of paper?", "Are you going to give it back when you're done?"

    PuroFreak:
    When someone says something is "wicked cool" or "wicked good" or something is "wicked nice"... Or any other word with "wicked" in front of it!!!!!!!!!!
    Then never come to the New England area. That **** is everywhere. It's just about the only adverb(?) used in these parts.

    Irregardless

    No such word. It's "regardless" every time, in every context. It may be picky but it bugs me some wicked awful!

    It unfortunately is in the dictionary though. I absolutely agree with you here though. It really aggravates me when people use that word. Also, somebody mentioned "I could care less", I FREAKING HATE THIS!! Evey time I get the chance to say it I emphasize the not - "I could NOT!!!!! care less" haha just one of those things that is so simple to understand but nobody seems to care.

    "irregardless

    an erroneous word that, etymologically, means the exact opposite of what it is used to express, attested in non-standard writing from at least 1870s (e.g. "Portsmouth Times," Portsmouth, Ohio, U.S.A., April 11, 1874: "We supported the six successful candidates for Council in the face of a strong opposition. We were led to do so because we believed every man of them would do his whole duty, irregardless of party, and the columns of this paper for one year has [sic] told what is needed."); probably a blend of irrespective and regardless . Perhaps inspired by the double negative used as an emphatic. Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper"

    :-D
    Light 'em up.
