Why thank you. That's very nice of you to say. I know- now that I am grown- that she did the very best she possibly could.

I HOPE we're not going to get into a grammarpicking contest here. Some of the big guns of grammar are around, you and jbe being the toughest. E-bill had better be careful starting that line of attack!! The merely competent can get sliced and diced. Fowler's treats irregardless with relative gentleness. In origin probably a blend of irrespective and regardless, it has been used for most of the 20c., chiefly in N. America, in non-standard or humorous contexts, to mean "regardless". Spiting your English-teaching mother qualifies as highly humorous, I think. I'll give X a pass on this one. But we'll keep a close eye on her, just in case.
