As an atheist, what angers you?

FYI I'm not a snarky person.

Awww, what a cute little chat.

Irregardless, FYI, there is, in fact, such a word. Look it up.

It's become an informal version of "regardless" through bastardization. Sadly it has indeed become an actual word.

I say "sadly" because it annoys me how it makes no sense whatsoever. How can "regardless" and "irregardless" mean the same thing?

I think language should change so both "rational" and "irrational" to mean "rational" and if you actually want to call someone "irrational" you have to say "rationalless" or "irrationalless" which both mean "irrational".

How can "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing? "Habitable" and "inhabitable"?  How can "bi-weekly" mean both twice a week and once every two weeks? Why do 'Murricans say "I could care less" to mean "I couldn't care less"? Why can we now apparently say "less people", as well as "fewer people", but we still can't say "fewer milk"?... Huh

Oh, the joys of a living language...

Of course there is. And I hate when people use it. The prefix "ir" means not. We already have a word that means regardless. It's...regardless. So having a word that also means regardless when it's the same word with the prefix "ir" makes no sense. I hate when people use the word because it's a stupid word. Not because it isn't a word.

Irregardless, I absolutely adore it. And, FYI, I'm not even joking.
