Of late, the non-word “anyways” seems to be popular, as does the weird “all of the sudden.”

"fixin to"...for I'm about to..

The word "like" before any statement...

It was "like" cold. When my kids say that I ask them....Was it "cold"? or was it "like cold"... meaning it was almost, near or somewhat approaching cold... they ususally roll the eyes and laugh.

“....”irregardless” a joint mangling of irrespective and regardless”

I could not agree more. “Irregardless” is not a freaking word but you’d be surprised at how often I hear it around the office from supposedly educated people.

One of my biggest peeves is the word “co-conspirator”. Conspiracy by its nature means more than one, so how can one be a “co-conspirator”? Isn’t everyone in on the conspiracy a conspirator? Or do they have to be elevated to a “co-conspirator”?

Ok, done with ranting and I am now putting away the soapbox.
