Speaking of grammar mistakes, anyone else know the old joke that goes something like this:
student - Where are the textbooks at? English teacher - You shouldn't end sentances in a preposition young man. Ask the question again please. student - OK, where are the textbooks at, asshole. |

teehee
Some people will tell you irregardless is not actually a word, and to use regardless instead. The less already indicates the negative so there is no need for the prefix ir. Despite this it has still snuck its way into standard dictionaries. They just label it non-standard. Use at your own peril!
