{{Technically, that would be "a 100%", not, "an 100%"...unless for some reason you pronounce your o's in the beginning of "one" like you do in the word "on." *pterodactyl'd for being nitpicky*

<<You need to chill out, maaan. Ya don't have to be all perfect. I'm getting an 82 in Algebra, and you know what? I don't care. If I wanted to get a better grade, I'd have to stay after school and all that because the teacher sucks and doesn't adequately explain anything during class. And I'd rather go to anime club. Ed fangirls are much more tolerable than morons call themselves teachers.>>Stevenson wrote:{{Technically, that would be "a 100%", not, "an 100%"...unless for some reason you pronounce your o's in the beginning of "one" like you do in the word "on." *pterodactyl'd for being nitpicky*

"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'm glad they're trying to do something about those people trying to vote down the higer ranked contest entries in First Chapters but why didn't mind get a rating boost like everyone else's? I've lost like a full point to those people too, I should at least get some of that back... Only a couple days left too, I need more votes. >>

<<Maybe I should try to watch Digimon... it shouldn't be too hard to find it Japanese. It's probably better in Japanese. Like One Piece. And Pokemon. And everything else 4kids has ever touched.>>

{{Wow, that took me a while to realize, I pronounce 100% as "hundred percent" so "a 100%" works. And I don't pronounce it a "'n" that often, though I sometimes pronounce and that way.}}Stevenson wrote:{{Technically, that would be "a 100%", not, "an 100%"...unless for some reason you pronounce your o's in the beginning of "one" like you do in the word "on." *pterodactyl'd for being nitpicky*
