"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.

Time for someone whose baka school doesn't have a Japanese class but knows katakana anyway to try their luck!
Celebifly's Canvas in Katakana would be... セレビフライ の キャンバス - Serebifurai no Kyanbasu ('fly' and 'fry' would be written the same way - yay for Japanese and their lack of the letter L!). Assuming there's no real Japanese word for 'canvas', because I certainly couldn't find one. And assuming those show up. Knowing the internet like I do, I suppose it's unlikely, but...
As for Shadowman... if you just want to spell it... Shadoman. シャドマン.

Dang, that's pretty good katakana. XD Nice job, Silver.
It shows up on my screen...then again, I have the Japanese language installed because I occasionally have to type stuff for school...

Hey, I actually know a few words that I think haven't been put up here!
Akuma = demon
Tsubasa = wings
baba = hag
neko = cat
arigatou = thanks
gomen = sorry
And if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me so I don't sound like an idiot if I use the terms!
Also, does anyone know how to write "Assassin's Glove" in the Japanese writing style (if I'm reading the last few posts correctly, in Katakana)? I'm hoping to put it in a story idea I've been brewing for a few weeks now
