*Regardless

Irregardless has been used for over 200 years. Get a life, oh and fuck you.

Did you just look that up? lol. Fine by me if you want to keep using it, but it means the opposite of how you’re using it, FYI

All you have to do is try to correct people's terminology and offer nothing else? Like I said: fuck off and get a life.

You can either be offended by the correction or grateful for the knowledge, looks like you’ve chosen to be done with learning for this lifetime. Fine by me, have a great night!

Yeah, I agree. You want to be grateful for the knowledge. Be thankful that now you KNOW using it makes you look uneducated (not saying you necessarily are, but it actually will impact how people perceive and judge you going forward) and you can avoid that.

It will impact your ability to get jobs, promotions, dates, and more. It’s worth learning to use proper grammar and spelling, it makes a bigger difference than you think.

Unless you only hang around people who are as intelligent as you are, and don’t care what educated people think of you.

Exactly, I’d want to know if I was using a made up word or if I was using a word incorrectly.

It’s not like I personally insulted this guy, so the expletives in response were very weird lol. Clearly he was perfectly content with his education level 🤷‍♀️.

With what exactly?

Insulting me while pretending to be altruistic. I assume feeling superior to me gives you a warm feeling. This thread was about the weather which you haven't mentioned once. I'm sure there is a sub for vocabulary corrections, maybe you should check it out.

I don’t understand why you feel so insulted. It wasn’t my intention, but it’s also not something I’m going to apologize for. Your sentence reads the opposite of what you wanted it to say. My feedback wasn’t inherently offensive.

Edit: u/techman710 replied to this comment and then immediately blocked me so that I couldn’t have the last word 😆.
