Which one agreed with your English teacher?
My dad, of course!
“G-D it, Stosh, there’s no such word as ‘irregardless’”. LOL
Dad was a good guy. Saw the elephant in WW2, infantry. Cussed quite a bit, but was a straight shooter and sought to do the right thing always.
His disposition would fall somewhere between Ralph Kramden and Fred Flintstone. Uncle Stan was kind of a Norton type of guy.
How he put up with me in my teen years, I’ll never understand.
