Awesome is a word used by people who are too unimaginative to use any other adjective Irregardless, while in the dictionary, has still not risen to acceptance and therefore I do not consider this a word. If regardless means without regard, then adding the prefix neutralizes the word completely. It is NOT "in regards to," it is "with regard to," AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At times I think the word "money"...it has made us all "beggars". My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I can't even stand to see it written using the first or last letter and then *** As a moderator I have been sorely tempted to edit posts that use cuss words in such a manner, but after talking about it to Chris & Sarah as owners of the site, and they told me that for them it wasn't a big deal, then I let them go. But watch out, one day I just may be in the mood for an edit, and your post may be it. There are far too many wonderful words in the English language for me to name them, but for some reason I just love to say LASCIVIOUS, it has such a wonderful sound and it's so descriptive.
