<<...If you like torrents, which I try to avoid. You don't risk any sort of legal trouble with DDLs or irc... come to think of it, who subbed Yakitate? Do they have an irc? I'll have to check.>>
"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.

<< Technically, there's nothing wrong with torrents so long as you don't use them to download liscensed stuff. And I don't see how DDLs or IRC are safer. Your ISP can still tell what you're downloading if they want to. As a note, the torrent program I use (uTorrent) encrypts its data stream so the ISP can't tell what you're doing. >>

<<Downloading's not the issue. It's sharing them, which you do when you torrent whether you want to or not. And while they may not be licensed in your territory, you might be sharing with someone who lives in an area where they are licensed. That's what they get you for with Torrents.>>

>> So, that's three more essays finished, one for English, and the other two for Global History. All I need to finish now is two short essays for German and one, hopefully simple essay, for Studio Art II. Yay for nearing finals. <<

>> Okay, that settles it. I have no idea how to use a credit card. I can barely buy anything online without having to ask my mom 6 times whether or not I'm doing it right. <<
