<<Well I tend to think about the post before mine as I'm reading through the thread. So then the thoughts I'm having at the time of typing are a response to the posts before mine. This may seem like carrying on a conversation, but it's strictly thought-based.>>
"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.

>> So...uhh...I wasn't kidding about that cleaning up my desk comment. I have found at least 7 bottle caps under and around my desk since then....and I'm not so much annoyed at myself as I am surprised that I haven't stepped on any of them... <<

>> Oh gosh, the first day back after break is always the worst. Especially if you have a terrible time getting to sleep at a reasonable hour, like myself. <<

>> I am actually quite impressed by that IPA gallery that Silver put up. Reminds me that I have barely done any sort of serious spriting for a few months, at least... <<
