    Irregardless defined
    Is irregardless a word?

    Yes. It may not be a word that you like, or a word that you would use in a term paper, but irregardless certainly is a word. It has been in use for well over 200 years, employed by a large number of people across a wide geographic range and with a consistent meaning. That is why we, and well-nigh every other dictionary of modern English, define this word. Remember that a definition is not an endorsement of a word’s use.
    Alea jacta est!

    “I could care less.”

    No. You meant that you could not care less (couldn’t care less), not that you could, because if you could, then you didn’t mean to say that whatever you were discussing at the time is so unimportant to you that nothing could be less important.

    It’s the same difference!

    Irregardless is a word sometimes used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795. Most dictionaries list it as non-standard or incorrect usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.

    Kleenex is a brand it's a freaking tissue. ;)

    So if you have a runny nose and need a tissue and all I have is toilet paper, will you be running to restroom to wipe yourass

    Now that all depends on the individual one would think....

    Yup.

    And some albums were meant to be listened to as a whole journey / story.

    "Tommy" by The Who, comes to mind. Wasn't it all about Tommy?
    My pet peeve is when someone bounces to different tracks instead of letting an album play from start to finish.
    Probably need to learn to chill.

    @audioluvr - Couldn’t agree more.
    @Kex - I tell people to feel free to care less, until they’ve reached the desired point of carelessness.
    Most of the time I just get blank stares.

    Punctuation is also a nifty thing-
    I’m truly inspired by cooking my girlfriend and my dog.
    Or- I’m truly inspired by cooking, my girlfriend, and my dog.

    My wife says this all the time: "Turn at the next red light." I've decided to just let it go at this point.

    well, if it's a right turn -- it's probably OK.
