Professor Birch
"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.

The fifth one you battle? Or the fifth one you meet? Because you fight Norman fifth, but you meet him before that. The fifth one by location is Flannery.

Round Two, Question 1!

There are two words in the english language which describe what a duelist does and, if a letter is removed, describe what a cruciverbalist does. What are the two words, and what letter is removed for the effect?

A Duelist would "Cross Swords"
Removing the 's' gets you what a cruciverbalist does, which is "Cross Words"
