Hypocrisy springs eternal. Of course, now he'll claim it was intentional.

Will you pleae express your opinion of "irregardless" - right, wrong,
stupid,....?

It's stupid for someone who spits venom over "off of" and "hopefully" to use it.

I can't to wait to spring a role-reversal with some material I got
from the web.

Actually "regardless" is pretty much gone from my vocabulary - I
almost invariably use "irregardless" even in office memos - so strong
is its aesthetic appeal.

Then you are a hypocrite supreme. What do you want, a medal?
