"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 many posts to score... 
Well, I think I can officially call the contest a success, the forums haven't been this active for like a year. If I do this again next year I'm gonna get someone to help me count all the posts...>>
<<Maybe I should drop some hints... Silver and Neo are battling for first (as if anyone couldn't have guessed that). Shadowman is doing good and so are Opal and Stevenson but Poik is starting to close in on them... Ok, that's enough hints for quite a while.>>
