Sorry Michi, I was going to put up a sound file of me saying it just for you but between a chaotic work week and and an errant sound card driver I haven’t yet been able to…

Well, gimme a break here, I would have thought that a [sub]admittedly sweet and darling[/sub] man who quotes divine Shakespeare at the drop of a hat would understand poetic license. It is not like I ever LIED or anything, I just moved things around a little bit. Just a TINY LITTLE bit, hon.

I mean, how many MILLIONS of times have I told you…sheesh, there I go again.

And really-tatertot is a honeybun, so if she wants to spell expediently instead of correctly, why don’t we let her? After all, irregardless is now in Webster’s dictionary. Truth is, however she spelled it, it will most likely get in there sooner or later.

Mr. Webster has obviously been broken by the weight of public opinion. So why should we be any different?
