Ignorant people are winning the war, but no matter what the dictionary says I refuse to accept anything other than the correct definition of "literally".

By the way, if they ever try and make "irregardless" a real word I will literally burn all my possessions and live alone in a cave by the sea for the rest of my life.

You are literally a pedant x)

Here is an interesting talk about how spelling and grammar has worsened over the years and how texting is causing a decline in the english language, however it might not be that true.

present, present

their, they're, there

your, you're

it's, its

right, right

the list goes on. stupid language :x

I learned that if you add the 't its taking the t in not and putting it in the end of the word to save space, english is a weird language

"Do not you like the present present"

Though and dough doesent even rhyme

Dough and though rhyme.

Hurr durr, yes, english orthography is a clusterfuck and people use words contrarily to the established grammatical rules. Guess what, Shakespeare did the same thing and people who wear their pants over their heads have complained about it since the dawn of time.
Languages change, deal with it.

Fuck meant tough, edited

I still prefer english over spanish. Fuck spanish.

What? Why? Spanish makes more sense than English does. Everything sounds as it is spelled, for one thing.

Maybe it's the sounds. I know for a fact that I can't trill [r] to save my life.

No it doesn't. It has orthographic exceptions too like basically any language, even though english jumps the shark in that respect. And it has stuff like "el agua" but "la armadura" that makes no sense.

J makes an H sound. That's stupid.

Like what? I'm definitely not fluent, so I'm ignorant.

Words like that are (I think) because they were longer and had a more fitting male or female ending before being shortened. Like uhhh...geeze, I don't know, Spanish class was forever ago, but I remember something about radio.

Some examples, y is pronounced differently in "muy" and in "yo" and differently again when it stands alone. X differs from "mexico" to "mixtura" and when your word starts with i or hi you replace an y with an e as the article.

The agua thing has no real logic behind it, spanish teacher just told me that they don't say "la agua" because that would have to As and would therefore "sound bad", even though "la armadura" sounds just like that. The underlying "rule" would be that only words where the a at the beginning is stressed undergo this nonsense, but if you stress the a for pronounciation reasons (say you are yelling the word or something) it stays the same.

Of course all that is still nothing when compared to english pronounciation.

Let me expand that a little bit:

Certain words are considered to have a gender, for example "sol" is considered a male word, hence you use "el sol" instead of "la sol". English doesn't have that problem, you just use "the" for everything.

Then, accents: "comprensi

It's already in some dictionaries. This used to irk me to no end when I was taking Language Arts classes. I was sent to the principal's office once when my English teacher used "irregardless". I told her that if she really thought irregardless was a word, she was irretardless. Unhappiness ensued.

(For those of you who don't get it, irregardless literally [haha!] means 'without a lack of regard' which is a really stupid double negative.)

I am a grammar and spelling Nazi. I can't help it.

Reading this pisses me off.

Irregardless most definitely IS a word, albeit an improper one that sounds awful and shouldn't be used. It's a synonym for regardless, irregardless of its roots. All you really have to do if someone brings it up is correct them politely, otherwise you're just coming off as an arrogant pedant.

Personally, I'm fine with people using words that sound wrong or improper as long as I understand what they mean from the context.

nominating this for post of the year
