183. I'm still just glad the rhyming thing from the beginning stopped.
"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.

188. I agree, that rhyming is making me quite irate. *pterodactyl'd* No, seriously, it is.
