I love how Americans are arrogant and think their bastardisation of the English language and hatred of other cultures makes them superior but really just makes them look dumb.
It's not a matter of "looking" dumb, they are dumb - they voted Bush in...TWICE!!! I will grant you though, Texas is a pretty dumb state over all.

What cracks me up is that the improper usage of words, given enough time, become legitimate dictionary entries.
For example "irregardless", which is the incorrect usage of "regardless" has been added to the American Oxford with the same definition as regardless.
Languages evolve, but its kinda funny how it happens sometimes.

seeing as the prefix 'ir-' essentially meanins "not", shouldn't it mean the opposite of "regardless"...?
granted I stopped taking "formal" (Am.) English/grammar classes once they were no longer required at university (although, I did continue taking "English" classes, since certain literature classes fell under "English" for whatever reason).

Yes, a devious tactic. I think we have misunderestimated our American chums.
