irregardless is in the dictionary. Yes, I know, that doesn't make it right. ;-)
I had a prof for a college writing class, he used to edit grammar books for a living. His three favorite rants included what an idiot President Bush is, how nobody seemed to be teaching grammar anymore, and how people tried to sound erudite by saying things like "usage" instead of "use." He admonished us to use simple words in our essays and to make damn sure we knew what they meant.
