Topic	I guess that "irregardless" is officially a word
ASithLord7 07/08/20 11:57:24 AM #38:	argonautweakend posted... The job of a dictionary is to document words as they are used. Which is why any dictionary that acts as one will have the normal definition of literally(as in, 100% factual) and the more modern usage where its just used in situations not 100% factual(Say, "my car broke down and I literally had to walk 500 miles to the nearest gas station") So, if irregardless is being used a certain way, it is the duty and responsibility of Merriam Webster to record it. Tbf that modern usage of literally has also been around for a few centuries lol --- https://imgur.com/VZeCB RebelElite791 <cite>ASithLord7 posted [p:941839013] in I guess th...
