Joke of the Day Last Request

Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker. The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"
The man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play the Macarena for me one last time?"
"Certainly," replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, " Well, what about you son? What is your final request?"
"Please," said the condemned man, "kill me first."

(this is how I've been starting my day everyday)

5) irregardless is not a word

From Wikipedia regarding "irregardless"

The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the consensus among references is that it is a portmanteau of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created. "Since the prefix ir- means 'not' (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means 'without,' irregardless is a double negative.".

(Cf. inflammable, flammable.)

Irregardless is primarily found in North America, most notably in Boston and surrounding areas, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, and was first acknowledged in 1912 by the Wentworth American Dialect Dictionary as originating from western Indiana. Barely a decade later, the usage dispute over irregardless was such that, in 1923, Literary Digest published an article entitled "Is There Such a Word as Irregardless in the English Language?"

Prescriptive vs. descriptive

The approach taken by lexicographers when documenting a word's uses and limitations can be prescriptive or descriptive. The method used with irregardless is overwhelmingly prescriptive. Much of the criticism comes from the illogical double negative pairing of the prefix (ir-) and suffix (-less), and the argument that irregardless is not, or should not be, a word at all because it lacks the antecedents of a "bona fide nonstandard word." A counterexample is provided in ain't, which has an "ancient genealogy," at which scholars would not dare level such criticisms.

The descriptive approach to "irregardless" is to note that it is considered non-standard by educated people.

Summary

Irregardless seems to be moving slowly in the direction of standardization. It has gone from nonexistence in the 1910 publication of Etymological Dictionary of the English Language, to being a normality in modern dictionary publications, and it frequently occurs in edited professional prose. The fact that its listing as a "humorous usage" has practically disappeared today supplies further evidence in favor of acceptance. However, strong resistance to this word still remains.

I still say it's not a word, and ain't souldn't be in the dictionary either.

snerk, I know english is a living language that grows every time some one makes up a new word, but these are my pet peeves. and I'm half joking so don't be diss'n me 'bout it.

snerk I TRY not to be spendy... raleigh I do.
But somehow I always seem to end up being absolutely enchanted by something and my brain gets stcuk and I need ( heh heh heh want) it. Then it becomes obsession like.

Personally I blame WEDGEH for my DAL obsession .. yeah like I need another doll right now, and I just saw someone on flicker with one for about the price I want to pay...except shipping might be a bit high. I need to sell some paintings, so the money won't come out of my household pocket. :(

Then TOVEB facilitates me in my love of shoes! shoes beautiful shoes. I have no where to wear them , but they looks so nice, and like they would also be comfortable!

TINGISHA just enables me to want one of her customs!or a Bunche of Piximix stuff..eeek! more buttons and badges? I usually end up putting them through the wash anyway, so I always need ( want ) more.

see so it's not really my fault I get spendy! HEH HEH HEHE I can rationalize with the best of them.

hey all my Vox buds are great, and apparently have great taste because I'm always coveting stuff! It's nobodys fault but my own really, I was just amusing myself with my spendy habits.
