<<EV Trainin' three Pokemans at once. Power Items and Pokerus are great.>>
"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.

<< I must correct Saber, in my thoughts where she'll never hear me! Yeah, that makes sense... >>

<< The definition of adultery is when a married person sleeps with someone other than his/her spouse. Virginity has nothing to do with it. But yeah, I'd still rank it below murder. >>

<<Well, hey, virginity could factor in... if you get married but stay a virgin, then cheat on your spouse. And what if you cheat on your spouse because they don't want to lose their virginity?

...Those are two really weird scenarios...>>

<< Yeah, I'm aware of the definiton of adultery. Virginity was just easier to go with instead of "sleeping with someone other than your spouse", even if it was, in most cases, incorrect.

And, I guess Metal is entitled to his opinion, but I can't say I understand.>>

<<This is supposed to be our thoughts anyway. If that's what Saber was thinking at the time, we can't say that it's correct or incorrect. We don't even know if it was related to White Samurai's post or if she just happened to be thinking that. Coincidentally, this totally isn't a thought-response to the previous posts, because that would just be weird. I can't hold a thought-only conversation! This is just an oddly specific thought process that I happened to undergo completely free of stimuli! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...>>

<< But, as I read previous posts, that is now what I'm thinking about! I'm also thinking about the words I'm writing, and how I just misspelled a word so I hit backspace! I am thinking about how weird the keys on my laptop feel. I'm also wondering why I'm starting my thoughts with "I'm thinking" because that's kind of redundant since they're my thoughts! So I should probably leave those out. Good plan. >>

<<But if you're thinking the phrase "I'm thinking", isn't that part of your thoughts? Wouldn't it be dishonest to leave it out, if that's what you're really thinking?>>

<< But in my normal thoughts, I don't believe I'd normally be thinking "I'm thinking", it's only as I'm taking something abstract and making it something physical, ie thoughts --> words, that my brain added that as a measure to transfer it, so I WAS thinking it as I wrote it... but it wasn't part of the initial thought process, I believe. >>
