		<description>The phrase "scared of Google" anagrams to "Sacfree good log".

		<description>"Rick, after purchasing his new pair of Sacfree..."

An' 'ere I thought airy meant 'airy ...





"double-negative"



Double-negatives really get a bad rap.



Does anyone really think that:

"NO-NO-NO-NO"

means yes?



Double-negatives are really just emphatic,

you can't logically reduce double-negatives to math 'cause ain't no English ain't no math no-how.



My pet peeve is people blowing people up,

irregardless of how you say it.



And if that was someone's desire,

I'd say, "NO-NO-NO-NO!", 

I might even go "new-cyoo-lar." ;)</description>

		<description>Great post...okay, we expect that, but THANK YOU for addressing one my biggest peeves in modern society, the use of the double-negative, non-word, "irregardless." Sheesh, it's almost as annoying as "new-cyoo-lar."



I'd like to comment further on the guts of your post, but that kid dancing frenetically in the corner of my screen (from your step-brother's site) is completely freaking me out.</description>

		<description>In the interest of offering a constructive example of usage I came up with this:



"After using his pope on a rope and crocheted crotch over the weekend, Rick had to ride hurt on his unicycle."</description>

		<description>Interestingly, the Wall Street Journal quoted Bill Gates on their editorial page and went ahead and fixed his mistake changing "irregardless" to "regardless" without noting their correction.</description>

		<description>While MS may "ride herd" on the competition,

their attentions/supervision would be disregarded--



However, when they right "put the hurt on" the competition

that I'd heard hurts.



But irregardless,

irregardless is a word :)



[irregardless]:http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=93149&#038;dict=CALD

[word]:http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=91216&#038;dict=CALD



"word (LANGUAGE UNIT)   

noun 

1 a single unit of language which has meaning and can be spoken or written:"



Since we all know what it means,

and it can be spoken and written

it's a word ain't it ... :-D

"Word?"</description>
