"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, Josiah, you were right! Mario Kart DS is like the most addicting game in the world! *pwns everyone in the game with luigi as always* Aw man, he drives VACCUUM. If that isn't cool, I don't know what is. And I just got the DS yesterday even.

Jambo... well, the day has finally arrived... we started Crapeo and Suxiet in English. I suppose I wouldn't have dreaded it as much if I knew Shakespeare put characters like Mercutio in there... although I can't say I understand why he'd throw a Comic Relief in, completely throwing off the depressing, mushy nature of the story. Not that I'm complaining; we get extra credit for volunteering when we act out certain scenes, and I'm basically the only one who doesn't mind going up there and completely humiliating myself as Mercutio.
However, I would have dreaded it more if I knew Romeo and Juliet were such freaken despies! That lovey dovey crap is bad enough as it is, but this... on the ick-o-meter, this is a perfect EEEEEEEEEWWWWWW.
