The English language is under assault by stupid people who use words they don't understand, and is defended by pompous asses who like to correct those people. We're not sure who to side with. So, here are some words that you'll see used incorrectly on a daily basis, and a helpful guide as to just how big of a dick you'd have to be to correct people on it. We have also included many pictures of these words being read by women with large boobs. Advertisement

Irregardless People think it means:

Regardless. Continue Reading Below Advertisement Actually means:

Not a damned thing. This is not a word. Now, we have no problem with making up words (if a particular scent can only be described as "fartalicious," we reserve the right to call it so). The problem with this one is "regardless" already means something isn't worth regard (that's why the "less" is there) so adding the "ir" to it means... it's worth regarding again? Who knows.

Unfortunately, if you "consider the Middle English" very often when speaking, you're probably not exactly the life of the party. Continue Reading Below Advertisement Should you care?

You could make the argument that the way people use it is so far off from the original meaning that it's worth fighting for, but there is almost no way to do it tactfully: "What are you doing, Chris?"

"Oh, just perusing the report here before the meeting."

"Well you better GET OUT THE MICROSCOPE, RETARD! HA HA HA HA HA!!!" So, perhaps the best thing is to just lead by example and start using the word correctly yourself. But, this can create its own problems: "Hey Sharon, What's Chris doing?"

"Oh, he said he was perusing that new report."

"Then why is he hunched over it with his tongue out, re-reading the opening page for the ninth time?"

"Gosh, I don't know. I guess he must be clinically retarded." Continue Reading Below Advertisement Dick Rating:
