Or saying 'hashtag'

Both 'irregradless' and 'could care less' are particularly bad because people will actually defend them. It always saddens me when I'm talking with someone whom I have never met before and they drop one of those bombs.

You only YOLO once after all



"Swingeing" is a new pet hate of mine too

"Scrapping" when eliminating is meant is also annoying

"Moreish" is just plainly stupid

"Plain stupid" when plainly stupid is plainly correct

However, I do like the idea of changing "ask" to "ax". I like how it sounds.

Can I ax you something?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

It's either "I could care less" because I infact, do care.

Or it's "I couldn't care less" because my amount of care about you/your problems is so low, it won't go any lower.

This isn't a region/language issue, it's a context issue.




Is it "a whole nother" issue?


irregardless of context, that's another kettle of fish!!


You, sir, just earned a cosmic bitchslap. The universe will be along shortly to push you down a flight of stairs.


I do hope you didn't miss the sarcasm in that post? Or the subsequent post in which I acknowledged that it is a word that should be banned?

I know what you mean, Instant respect loss. You just want to say to them "Ah, and you were doing so well. Here's a dictionary, see you around"

I did indeed miss both of them. Oops I retract your previously invoked cosmic bitchslap. Sad

Is it bitchslap, *****-slap, or ***** slap?

Also, CCP - your profanity filter is about as smart as my dog. And he licks his own ass.

It's abbreviated for will not...but that is not possible!

I WILL NOT LOSE!

Actually it's completely solid, but you need to speak a language that uses negated positives for it to make sense.

This thread would have double the replies if everyone that says "COULD CARE LESS" actually took the time to post a response.

No joke, i heard a fellow Australian actually say that to me today (hence i started the thread) and i questioned him on, why do you say it that way and the answer i got was "F OFF". Apparently is was a mis-pronunciation.


He's been hanging around Americans too much & has a weak mind. Not a good combination.

I figure it's got to be *****-slap

Two separate words creating an action word. I think.

"Willn't" would be pretty hard to pronounce.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

There's evolution, and then there's being taken out back and systematically beaten with poor grammar and spelling.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
