But I do love language. I fell in love with poetry at a young age. I was asked to leave class in the 3rd grade because I was caught reading Caddie Woodlawn for the 3rd time. (WORTH IT.)
This redhead got me in a heap of trouble. Dang gingers.
So I'm not sure if you care, but the word IRREGARDLESS is really just a silly word that means absolutely nothing. The mash-up of regardless and irrespective. And one must ask, why on earth?
And then I remembered a word I use all the time that has no basis in reality. A word so silly, so absurd, and so far fetched that only my Mother could have thought of it. I have now tired for three days to spell this word. And I can't. I just can't. Watch me try:
jihugic.
gyhugeic.
gueyehugic.
Are you picking up what I'm laying down? She puts the word ginormous and huge together and viola! Gihugic.
Seriously this has bothered me for days.
THREE DAYS.
It's redonkulous.
be made up,

I don't remember ever hearing your mom say gihugic. It must be a post-Montana word for her.
I think I agree a bazillion percent.
Serrupsurdity, serruptitiously absurd. Delagrace, to get out of work by delegating in a most graceful manner. Dorkministan, the country I claim as my true homeland every time I do some serrupsurdity. I love the stupid English language.
I honestly think when I die it will be because someone said "supposably" or one of its bastard cousins one too many times.
Irregardless has always topped my list, thank you for spreading the word.
