You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to JettaKnight again.

From that link:

nonstandard

: Regardless

In other words, the wrong word to use when "regardless" is available.

yep. Also from the MW link: "Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead."

Woah, woah, woah. Easy now. That's my family name you're so quick to besmirch. I'm a Merriam.

It's my maternal family name. Yes it goes back directly to the founding of Merriam-Webster. There's a family log my Aunt has that tracks it all the way back to an officer on the Mayflower.

Every year for Christmas my Grandma would give all the kids dictionaries. True story.

But good joke.

Extended family?

Extended family?

Nah. No relation to Webster. Just business partners.

Thank you very much Brother. If Homeland Security needs a character reference can I quote you?

Wait, what? I thought assimilation was a dirty word!

Naw. It's all about adopting the culture and customs that make America great while maintaining just enough of one's original culture to ensure that we WASPs will always have a way of telling who came over on the Mayflower and who's irrelevant.
