Fuckin dumbass 5:03. "Google says so"? Seriously? The english language will prove 'irregardless' to be redundant. Google says so....I wish I could punch you in the face right now.
Merriam Webster identifies irregardless as a word, but a highly frowned upon word which does suggest ignorance. It is probably a blend of irrespective and regardless.
And 5:07- the correct word is supposedly, there is no b or a in that word.
Supposably is actually a word though misused 99%of the time. Too bad your instructor absolutely used it incorrectly and good for you for recognizing it
You fucking losers. Let me ask you something, do you walk around in public correcting gramer and spelling? If so, someday, you WILL get punched in the face.
- "Supposably" IS a word, but I doubt your teacher was using it correctly.
- "Irregardless" is an Americanized form of "regardless." It's the same case as "toward" and "towards." Americans are really the only people to use "towards." So even though both are correct, "irregardless" is simply redundant.
Any questions?
If we are discussing these "things" so thouroughly I think they may now be words. There are some hard core keeners on this site. I think they may be the people you try to avoid sitting next to at parties.
"7:20 i can to use those words in a sentance but thats stupid you asshole. thats what the man wants you to do."
You're the stupid asshole. You keep spelling words wrong left and right! It's spelled SENTENCE. NOT SENTANCE.
8:45: it's LOSERS not LOOSERS.
Education these days are horrible.
Oh yaaay! An intelligent TFLN. That is so funny. Props to you for dropping that class. There is no way i could sit in a class all semester listening to someone with a master's degree and no English skills.
And to those of you who think "supposably" is a word, just so you know, "alot" isn't a word, and neither is "flustrated."
fuck me, the people quibbling over this are most likely English majors which means you are either going to law school or are going to be unemployed. Go find a real major... science for instance and not a social one.
It's not that we don't have anything better to do, just that we don't do those things. It probably is a problem but if it contributes to maintaining our sanity I say we keep doing it.
So far I haven't seen one person realize that this has to be either a fake post or a really late post due to the fact that it's December and the drop date for classes is long gone.
Have you ever thought that perhaps it's a problem that you all have nothing better to do than insult one another on a website that is merely supposed to be funny? Just a thought :) Happy holidays!
7:32 I'm glad you got them all! I was just trolling and baiting those who are obsessed with grammar. It's the easiest type of trolling there is. I'm actually a little surprised it took until the third person in to figure out all the glaring errors.
Supposedly and supposably are both words meaning different things. Get your Masters in English and then we will debate - in the meantime good call on dropping the course - it is highly unlikely your teacher usedit correctly
6:17, The--what? Seriously, what the fuck are you trying to say?
Supposably and Irregardless are both American English. Yeah! U-S-A! U-S-A! NUMBER ONE!
irregardless is just the hypercorrection of regardless, and is also the informal pronunciation. also, supposable is a word, but not supposably, prob. meant supposedly like 6:01 said
this is ridiculous. words are often created and legitimized through frequent use. thus, 'supposably' and 'irregardless' can maybe be considered 'words' in the same way that 'truthiness' and 'strategery' are 'words'
also, just wanted to add, the spell-check in my web browser says 'supposably' is NOT a word while 'irregardless' is.
oh, and to the OP, well done. the bastardization of the english language is definitely grounds for dropping a class
William Strunk says 'irregardless' should never be used in writing. If the Elements of Style says to refrain from using it, then the world should refrain from using it.
Dude. You guys are missing the point. Yeah, they're words, but usually teachers would frown upon saying them. Thus, the teacher in the OP's class is a total nimrod.
last semester my geography professor spent the 1st 20 min of class trying to convince us Iceland is not a country. She wasn't joking. It was a really long semester. Wish I had dropped
I went to school in america for about a month. In English class they actually had to tell everyone that "anyways" with an s is not a real word.
NO FUCKING SHIT.
I peer edited a paper last week. The girl used "husban" throughout the whole paper. Apparently she had no idea husband has a "D" on the end. She also didn't know the difference between "woman" and "women".
Americaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
My very humble prediction is that in 50 years time, supposedly will have died, supposably will have lost whatever meaning the dictionary thinks it has now and will have replaced supposedly, and irregardless will have died out as a bad bad joke.
