I visit a few other forums (gasp, shocker) and I get this PM today and..I just can't not share it with you all because its lost me because I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or put my head in shame.

No offense, but please never, ever, ever again use the word irregardless. It is not a real word. Regardless means exactly the same thing and irregardless is a vestige for people who are searching for a fancy word. Usually your posts are excellently worded, but please change that nasty word and replace it with regardless.

:wtf:

As crazy as that guy seems he is right. Its a non-standard. People say it cause it sounds smart :P

The negative Irr- and -less sort of act as a double negative so it basically means regardless.

I wasn't trying to act smart in my post, I just post like I usually do which is usually informative on that site so that's why it lost me. I never knew it was such a bad word (like ain't) to use until now...

I found the post I made the word in and I never even gave it a passing thought when I made it.

T9 > QWERTY on a cell for me. I may not type as quick as say T9 on a standard button filled phone but I do pretty well still irregardless. Plus, Voyager is just too much of a brick for me. I'm content with my purchase and have no major reason to return it right now.
