Re: Japanese Word Thread
That would be gochisosama deshi-ta. Yeah... that filter is really annoying. And I don't think anyone's ever tried to use that word outside of the Japanese language...
Oh yeah. And I was under the impression that -tachi only worked for people, since everything else can be singular or plural already. Like... I've never heard kumotachi or kumatachi, but I have heard kimitachi and kaizokutachi.
And oretachi... which reminds me. You seem to have missed one of the personal pronouns, Josiah. Or should I say you seem to have missed ore of the personal pronouns. ...No? That's too much of a stretch? Eh... Everyone's a critic.
Ore: I (but it's rude and manly. So it's the preferred pronoun of the strawhat pirate crew. And Silver. Which is why, if I ever go to Japan, I'll probably be murdered.)

"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.

I think tachi can be used with a few other things, but yeah, it's mostly just used for people. Words are often listed in no particular order. I usually just use the first one to pop into my head at the time, which is why I didn't post ore.
