"Or more stupid" is not a complete sentence. Michael ========== You're correct. Mistakes are one thing. Defending illiteracy is something else entirely.

Well, apparently the person who posted it is content with whatever image was suggested. I think you suggested far worse about yourself than you did about somebody using the word "irregardless". Who really cares? People misspell, misuse, abuse and twist the English language when typing fast, thinking fast and writing informally. Why on Earth did you feel the need to comment on it; you weren't even part of the thread. I commented on you, because it is fun to make fun of a true fool ;-) -- Thomas T.

The original person that you cared to comment on simply used a "non-standard", but acceptable word in its appropriate context. Now who looks stupid now?! I wouldn't answer that if I were you; fair warning. Go back to your auto group and be gone troll ... I am out of food. -- Thomas T.
