<<Oh yeah, I was supposed to do another one of those Technological Current Event things... Grah, the people in my Computer Class are jerks. Just because the teacher is also the cheerleading coach doesn't mean she won't give homework if you don't SHUT UP! I have GOT to bring the duct tape with me tomorrow, else those idiots will land us something even bigger over the break...>>
"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.

<<Dang, that post Stevenson made in the 'Son of Saying Hi to Josiah' topic really DOES look like one of my posts... I bet no one'll figure out that it was really him! Or... maybe they will... Gah! Stupid fingers! You did it AGAIN! *Eats fingers* Stevenson'll testify; I really DO eat fingers... *Dusts off the 'Beware of Silver' sign on the guild*>>
