When you are angry you just want to have your say, I don't think you will care about spell check or language used. It's just social media, not report writing.

 

I think it's norm. When ppl get bad mouthed by others they will be on the defense.

It is in fact a real word (but that doesn't mean you should use it).









Is irregardless a word?

 


Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

I need to call you out on this one, please don't haunt me:

 

http://www.businessinsider.com/irregardless-real-word-regardless-kory-stamper-education-dictionary-mean-girls-lexicon-merriam-webster-2017-6/?IR=T

 

 

 

 

Kory Stamper, a lexicographer for Merriam-Webster and author of "Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries," told us that "irregardless" is a word in the dictionary, and how to use it correctly. Following is a transcript of the video.

 

"Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to enter it.

 

My name is Kory Stamper and I am a lexicographer for Merriam-Webster. That means I am a writer and editor of dictionaries.

 

One word that gets a lot of vitriol is the word "irregardless." There is a dictionary entry for "irregardless." "Irregardless" is a word. This inspires specific vehement hatred in people. "Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to enter it.

 

"Irregardless" is a word. It is related to "regardless." It is actually a blend of two words. It's a blend of "irrespective" and "regardless." People hate it because they say that it has no use — why not just use "regardless"?

 

But actually in the dialect that "irregardless" comes from, it has a specific use that doesn't translate well in print. It's basically an emphatic use of "regardless." So if you’re a native speaker of certain dialects that use "irregardless" you use "irregardless" to shut down further conversation on a topic. I might say, “Dad, let me borrow the car. I'm a really good driver.” And he'll say, “Regardless, I'm not comfortable.” I'll say, “Oh but come on. I'll get it detailed, and I'll put gas in it.” He’ll say, “Irregardless, no.”

 

The point of the "irregardless" is to shut down conversation. So "irregardless" is a word. It has a specific use, in particular dialects. That said, it’s not part of standard English and so — especially if you’re writing or if you’re speaking in formal places — you want to use "regardless" instead. Because if you use "irregardless," people will think you’re uneducated.

Bottomline is the ice cream really that good?

This one is a fking joke. The owner herself is a blogger and yet she doesn't understand the value of a true review? For the uninitiated, Sara Shantelle Lim once famously threw a sponsored $40,000 birthday bash.

I hope the sponsors are very happy with the little publicity they got.

 

Not many people know who these sponsors are.

 

:D

 

I love that well know marketing saying.

 

There is a sucker born every minute.

quite stupid on the company side i think, or inexperience.

 

there is alway bad customer,

the last thing u want is quarrel or fight with them.

 

just let them go or even lose abit nvm,

dun do their business again,

 

once u make thing big, even if u are right, in the end it also give your company a negative image,

 

There is no such thing as a bad customer.

 

Only an unprofitable customer.

 

Those I always like to send to my competitors.
