I am currently working on my final paper titled: The Concept of Identity in David Lynch's Lost Highway. I can tell you, this is costing me some nerves! As well, my love life isn't that spectacular too, at least right now, but I am working on it. There is a girl from Vienna (Al, you know I like them from foreign countries ;-)) visiting Cologne (and me) but it's hard to tell if there will be any fooling around... Sorry for being off topic!

Sorry for being off topic!

Actually irregardless IS an English word. It is a blend of irrespective and regardless. You can find this word in the OED or any other dictionary of concern. It is not a slang word, but of course it is not Standard English. I salute you, my friends. Hi guys,

I know full well that it isn't a word to use in writing because it is considered confusing or absurd but it does have a nice ring to it. Well, slang has its place.

Why is it that so many lay people refuse to trust the ability of actual professionals? As for the patients with amnesia and mangled frames, I've developed a nice way to deal with them. In the most condescending way possible, I express my astonishment at how glasses could deform and deconstruct themselves without any outside involvement. Oh, and regardless of how commonly used a word is, "irregardless" is not proper English. It is slang. When you say "irregardless," you sound as silly as someone who says "for all intensive purposes."
