Doesn't know how right he is...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Needs to understand that Gold's better than Silver, and Crystal's better than both

Person above him probably didn't read all the posts, or realize that Silver just sounds cooler

Is definitely right on the first count, but not on the second.

Doesn't realize that Crystal is a girl's name, and I'm not a girl! <_<

Jumped to conclusions about my 'realizing' his mental 'superiority' ... ((I never said anything of the sort! I just mentioned that you have a point. :P))
