“....”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.
